Dude needs a refund.

Ha. Heard them talking to a guy buying Colorado-legal pot yesterday. He said he was "feeling energized and motivated".

I think he bought some defective stuff and should ask for a refund.

You'd be surprised what the different strains do, especially when you are talking to people who don't just smoke a whole bowl and veg.

Yep, Irving is correct, different kinds can do different things, but also different people can experience different highs from the same stand. Some sativas can be the complete opposite of what people think weed does to folks. Still, there are going to be some bad complications from this new law, yesterday saw more out of state people buying than in-state at a couple stores. I'm gonna bet the feds will step in soon, as I anticipate this getting out of hand.

First comment, how many stores did YOU go to?

But seriously, is that really such a bad thing? It will bring people to Colorado, who will likely spend money elsewhere as well, boosting the tourism industry. How is it different from people going to Amsterdam and getting stoned for a week on end, then reluctantly going home?

I'm a little torn on the entire thing. I can see how it can honestly be a good thing (increasing tourism, taxes, fast food industry), but at the same time when its legal, more people will smoke it in public, right? I have no desire to smoke weed, and even now that its legal up there, I see no reason to smoke it. But what other people do is not my business, until that smoke starts wafting into my house.

I thought the stores had to see an ID to make sure they were only selling to Colorado residents?

[Irving]

There are already reports of people with family members that suffer from seizures moving here. NPR had a guy in Pueblo who has only been here a few months. He came from Idaho and said he moved here as soon as it was legalized. He basically said it was all about freedom and he moved here to be free. I laughed when they played that part.

The very small amount bought by out of state people is like a drop in the ocean when compared to the amount brought in by gangs and traffickers. But, yea I can see them making a big deal out of it. Just like they do with "mass-shootings".

Out of state can purchase 1/4oz.

The stores however do not keep track of who buys what. The limit for purchase is only for that store, that transaction.

So really there is no limit.

Jim... No fucking clue.

Heard this morning that sales were about a million bucks yesterday. I didn't know that these were cash only sales ? I'd guess that everyone of these stores are going to have to have some type of armed guards present .
