recreational pot was available in Colorado on January 1st
and first part everything went smoothly
there were a few issues though it turns out that so many people wanted to smoke
marijuana on that day
that the lines are extremely long however %uh the press did cover those
lines in the majority of people seem like they didn't really have much of an
issue
and also it turns out that the hostel the pot
went up significantly as supply went down there were so many people looking
to smoke that
these at while dispenser is just did not have a nub in fact just to give you an
example
i'm for high quality weed some other shops are selling I
and 8 for about seventy dollars earlier in the day was about twenty five dollars
now these are a few the Kings that they're gonna work out but it's also
important to mention that this is highly regulated
there are a number of people that are against that
the legalization of marijuana and I'll say oh you know what people are gonna
get behind the wheel they're gonna drive while they're stoned
know there are laws against it a few people have already been as cited
for smoking in public so there are rules
but I cook it so people to their free people get high and then drive a car
yes because %uh people can't drink and then yeah and I have yet known or take
prescription medicine and some might never
never never I wanna for summer there's something about pot people want to smoke
pot drive immediately at
me I could be wrong here but I feel like back in the day had used to smoke a
little
I'm not advocating for driving while you're high but like
really careful driver when I what you got like to what time I'll
under the speed limit when you're high yeah I have to get a tax on yearly going
five miles an hour anyway it's not a big deal right
like yours so careful yeah I heard an ad like a really good friend
drug when you're comparing marijuana and alcohol alcohol makes you reckless
marijuana I don't want to hear you had a good car
K got a lot of last night
but everything the cut that is a ski rack yeah
so I'm we mentioned earlier video colorado is planning on making a ton of
money often this because there is heavily taxing about 25 percent
and a lot of the ski resorts wanna do like marijuana tourism to lure people
into the hot
%uh Washington also legalize marijuana for recreational purposes
but they will not have the shops open until about late spring
but same thing is going to happen there so there no loving it smoking and skiing
CIO concerned about that I knew we had that discussion
there should be a mean that might be a little dangerous know the other laws
yeah
breathing went became one but danger I don't think so there aren't any laws and
yes baby wear a helmet
yeah wear helmets will let you showed yeah by the way those lines outside
those
stores right the long line now that's because they did such a heavy
advertising campaign
no we don't even have ever had yeah get people to show up
that the media marijuana need to advertise it the danger here I think it
is that you know this this article is pointed out that
all the supply a recreational marijuana spot for medical marijuana
can they don't have yet in place a for literary
infrastructure you have to grow medical I'm sorry recreational marijuana so what
ends up happening is that the price is actually being jacked up for everyone
and that medical marijuana patients are kind of afraid like
it's gonna affect our ability to actually get good medicine am I gonna be
priced out of the market yesterday asking themselves and I think that's a
legitimate concern but I'm pretty hopeful I think that
now that the state has an understanding of what the demand really is that they
can work on the supply and I have no doubt that you know how I think there's
a lot of people have applied for
for grow licenses and things and they're all pending I think it has the Altec
supply burger lighter than Colorado because I
I think we could fund our next to do. yeah we have a correspondent in Colorado
I think it's a good thing I'm not you don't like a great idea
my brothers in the construction business and that was enough to get no
and he wanted to open up a a but i wanna open up the pot store California
and let's do it and I was like I'm not the guy to run it and
cuz i cant and then but I'll also they started cracking down on itself like
but could we move to call you know it's legal eagle cholera Washington now
you should let me say it's gonna happen really soon as you can get in on that
ground floor hallway
I'm not talking this is that Google pop it so why since the print money right
you can sell pot are you kidding me all my gather like we should really get in
on this let's get together
I love for making business plan coming on the show but you get the actor's
right now on Twitter yeah I think
the amazing so obviously if they're gonna sell out I mean granted its new
that sucks one sold out on day 12 but I i think that we have to take note that
in other countries where they've legalized or decriminalized marijuana
they found that
the years following that rates can actually go down smoking rates go
exactly
and so I think this is kind of a win-win whether
terrible things happen or not it nothing bad happens it's going to be very easy
for surrounding states to look at it
look at the seventy-plus million dollars per year in tax revenue they're gonna
bring in think
well I would like them that money I mean Nevada could do it but even a terrible
things happen like what like
increase lung cancer rates will outlaw cigarettes to remember too that this is
precedent-setting like to say
other countries that have like no other countries have the Netherlands it's
legal to sell pop is not legal to produce an only Uruguay
at fully legalize recreational pot but they haven't implemented any plan to do
it yet so
really colorado is the first market public freely you
I'm regular regulated differently regulated a marijuana going backwards
right so Amsterdam you could go there go to a coffee shop
but now they're trying to limit those and who can participate if you're my the
country you can purchase
to go to my website I did go to amsterdam and this a tip for everybody
here you don't have to be high when you're packing to go to amsterdam yeah
it's not a good idea
it sounds like y'all get high wit a good right now and you forget all your shared
I gotta learn about by the way speaking about yesterday I mean this is an
ongoing issue where you have a more conservative politicians calling for
tighter regulation of marijuana and then they realize all turns out it might hurt
our terrorism and then they kind of you know an egg on what they were going on
behind that's good
I don't know what happened with the latest situation okay
but it is and ongoing cycle in Amsterdam so I wouldn't be surprised if
it sometime in the near future politicians backed off that idea
because they realize you know what this is going to hurt our bottom line it
always goes back to money which is why I love that they legalize recreational pot
in Colorado and Washington
as you said it will set a precedent I think politicians are realized that
their
is a huge demand and nothing you can do is gonna stop that's really really funny
to me about this specific article which is the happiest article
a under the third metric banner talking about this legalization
is that they say over and over and over how heavily its regulator have people
from
out-of-state can't purchase that you can to cross the line and the very last line
in the article
he is a quelle this is quality stuff in a real store not the Mexican brick weed
were used to back in Ohio said Brendan Harris who drove from Winchester
oh i haaaate
where'd I don't know I'm I'm so excited to see how this really plays out and I
think that you know this will have a domino effect and it's only for the
busts I mean
well have a dominoes it back yeah
