Interesting local TV,

showing some 'Destination Colorado' ads, promoting pot, that the Colo Tourism Industry (who promotes the craft beer industry) isn't gonna run. But Arthur Frommer, the guide book guru, compares us to Amsterdam, and predicts a 'torrent of tourism' to Colorado, which is just what I heard from international travelers in Mexico. Is SO nice to live in an 'educated, thinking state', vs the Red state, conservative world. Time will tell, but I'm betting on Colorado, and the voters who said pot should be legal, for adults, instead of sending them to prison. Sorta like when the vote was given to women, then blacks as well as the repeal of prohibition and it now it is just 'taken for granted'.
The ad campaign that allowed the amendment to pass was a very simple, two part series. First was a retired sheriff, saying he had never seen an aggressive, violent pot smoker, (unlike drunks), and the second explained how money was wasted in the prison system, AND, it would be better to have pot profits (and taxes) going to school districts instead of Mexican gangs. VOILA! Pot is now legal in Colorado. About time, BUT, ain't gonna happen in the Red states, where adults, ingesting a (God created?) natural plant can be sent to prison.That makes us kinda special, and them ridiculous. Thanks, conservatives, we appreciate it when you make our differences SO obvious...
