As a precursor to

what I see as a LARGE migration to Colorado, led by young people, CU-Boulder revealed new stats today on applications.

Freshman applications to the University of Colorado shot up 33 percent this year, after the state's well-publicized legalization of marijuana. Kevin MacLennan, CU's admissions directors, said that while the school has no way to track whether the arrival of recreational pot contributed to the increase in student interest, his office hasn't heard much about it.
That overall rise in applications included even larger jumps in the number of prospective students from out-of-state — a 43 percent increase — and from other countries, with international applications up 65 percent.

Wow, who da thunk a common sense view toward pot, rather than jail, would attract people?
I knew it would be a mistake. We have enough people here already, and don't need anymore on the roads, although it WILL be good for the economy and real estate values.
