Like thousands of his fellow Coloradans, Peyton Manning is buzzing off the state's legalization of marijuana.

But it's a different kind of high for the Denver Broncos quarterback, who credits legal pot with booming sales at his Papa John's pizza franchises.

Manning purchased 21 Papa John's locations statewide shortly before voters passed Colorado Amendment 64 in late 2012, and he's been raking in the money ever since.

its called the munchies. here in the UP of Michigan I have a neighbor who does medical marijuana. lots of pizza boxes flow into the trash. Because many times the crows tear the trash bags apart prior to trash pick up.

‘Papa’s got a brand new bag....of weed.”

A small bag of weed with each two large pizza orders? Joints to the rescue...

Is this an offensive line invigorator? And btw, is the NFL ok with Bronco’s ‘inhaling’?

Legalizing pot didn't increase the number of smokers, it merely changed who they buy from.

I credit it to the 20 pounds I put on the first year I went away to college. In partnership with the Burger King down the street from the dorm. And an assist from the highly nourishing student cafeteria food.

I'm inclined to agree with you on that

“Legalizing pot didn’t increase the number of smokers, it merely changed who they buy from”

And that hasn’t panned out as Tax revenue is running well behind plan. Reason? black market pot is plenty strong, and a lot cheaper. Did anyone think the Cartels would take this laying down?

I don't think it's ditchweed they're selling in the legal stores. Above a certain point, strength is irrelevant - one takes as many hits as needed to get high.

and a lot cheaper. Did anyone think the Cartels would take this laying down?

It's not an issue of cartel intent - it's whether taxes and regulations are so stringent as to hobble the legal market to the point where the cartels can keep up. Keep taxes and regulation modest, and what happens to the cartels will be what happened to the mob when Prohibition ended: they were competed out of any significant share of the market.
