COLORADO'S NEW HIGH NOT FOR MASSACHUSETTS
Good luck to the people of Colorado. They've made it easier for drug
cartels to tap into their children's latent desire to experiment with
marijuana.
Adults 21 and older now can buy marijuana legally for recreational
use in Colorado. As of Thursday, residents and visitors can go to a
state-regulated pot center, ask for an ounce or less, and pay the
over-the-counter price. Just like the Obamacare rollout, no one knows
exactly what they're getting; Colorado hasn't established a price
structure, leading one Denver shop to sell one-eighth of an ounce of
"high-quality" marijuana for $70. That's in sharp contrast to
state-licensed pot centers filling medical prescriptions at $25 an ounce.
It also creates a new governmental bureaucracy of state-paid pot shop
inspectors, and all the expenses that come with it.
