So this is perhaps what I don't understand, then. If marijuana is easy and convenient in one's home state, and there's no risk of arrest, why come to Colorado just to smoke marijuana? Is it just a novelty thing that you'd do once?

Why do potheads flock to Amsterdam?

Why do partiers flock to Vegas?

I always assumed that potheads went to Amsterdam because of the fear of arrest in other places. But apparently that's not accurate at all, since I heard the other day that marijuana is actually illegal there too, but it's just "tolerated". I would've sworn it was legal there.

The Vegas thing is interesting. Why do partiers go to Vegas? Is it because there's an infrastructure there of bars and strip clubs and stuff? I don't really think it's just that. I figure it's more of a culture where "I can misbehave and probably won't get arrested or see anyone I know". I hope people don't do the marijuana tourism thing in Colorado for that reason. I don't envision this place becoming a big outdoor party.

Now that I think about it, where will the marijuana tourists smoke? I don't think they can smoke at the shops that sell it. They can't smoke in public on the streets. They can't smoke in restaurants or bars. Maybe they can smoke in their hotel rooms if they get a smoking room, but that doesn't seem like a wild time. I've never thought about that.

Denver and every other city that can accommodate tourists is going to get $$$$. People are going to want to smoke with like minded people, try the local product out and experience a new scene that is developing in CO. Im sure there will be an abundance of places and people celebrating 420 there.

Im also sure that large CO cities will be more than accommodating for that special day.

$$$$$

It's only legally sold in nine cities and seven counties in Colorado. I'll see if I can find a map or something.

It's easy to discreetly smoke in public. I do it when I travel all the time.

Especially with the new "E-Cigs".

Completely odorless, small, portable electronic vaporizers. And they get you high as **** too.

They're not completely odorless but yes. I love my micro g pen (uses BHO).

The communal experience of being around other people who share your lifestyle, even when they really don't.

Because I will get to stand in a store in front of a bright and friendly probably semi alternative pierced chick and legally buy a bag of beautiful stuff. Stuff I can't get here for that price or quality.

I feel the same way about people that go to Vegas. I don't gamble and I've certainly seen enough tits and ass to cover 1000 men. But flock to Vegas they do.

I'm a babe in the woods on marijuana buying, so I didn't know this. I assumed that the underground market was like a big supermarket where you could shop around and find the type and quality you wanted. I guess this would be more organized with glass cases and stuff, eh?

Just sayin, I can get the same quality pot here in MO.



.. .Because I know a guy who makes frequent trips to Colorado.

It's illegal to take it over Colorado state lines, IIRC.

Your right.

We are talking about black market here, so legalities really mean nothing, and REALLY meant nothing until this week.
