Colorado’s legal marijuana dispensaries generated over $1 billion in sales during the first eight months of 2017 — a 21 percent year-over increase putting the Centennial State on path to having its best year yet in terms of retail pot sales.
Licensed pot shops in Colorado sold a total of about $1.02 billion worth of marijuana products between January and August 2017, including $733,057,112 in recreational sales and $291,978,141 in medical sales, according to data released Wednesday by the state’s Department of Revenue and analyzed by The Cannabist, the Denver Post’s marijuana news portal.

A lot of stupid people live in Colorado.
And a lot of state sales tax.
And also in the states where alcohol—the worst drug on the face of the earth—is legal...
That’s a lot of heartache...
Alcohol is no worse than pot...
I bet you’re a real joy at parties.
And a lot of a new street source.....for other states.
A lot of deadbeats now live in Colorado. It had been a number of years since I was in Colorado. But, we went there last month. The legal pot has changed everything from when I was last there. It has created a whole new class of deadbeat. I grew up in Houston, and have family there. I've spent time in Dallas and Austin. There are panhandlers and deadbeats in all those places, but not like we encountered in Colorado. EVERYWHERE we went in Colorado, we were panhandled. From the big cities to the small towns, to the Walmarts to the Burger Kings, if there was a pot shop within walking distance, there were panhandlers. The seemed to keep it at a minimum in the ski resort towns, but they were still there. The only place I've been that even rivaled the number of panhandlers per square foot in Colorado was downtown San Antonio at the river walk entrances. We couldn't even get a good nights sleep at the hotel/motel we stayed in on the way back through Colorado Springs for all the panhandlers knocking on peoples' doors looking for a place to sleep.
For your interest.
Yes I agree
Colorado desn’t corner the market for stupid people.
“A lot of stupid people live in Colorado.”
Yes, they do. I’ve watched this State for the past 30+ years get dumber and dumber.
Liberals claim inbred, beer-drinking, wife-beating rednecks of the deep South are the dumbest people, but I know for fact having been raised Southern that the idiots in Colorado are by far the dumbest crowd I have ever had the displeasure of associating.
Anyone know what the comparative sales of beer was during the same time?
You lie! I’ve been to western Washington and Oregon, and coastal California. Many of the stupid people migrated here too.
“Rocky Mountain High” should be the state song now a days.
Nobody lives here in Colorado. We’re all dead. Don’t come.
>Colorado desn’t corner the market for stupid people.
No, there’s my home State of MD...and, at times, my adopted State of Florida too.
Sorry, but it’s another instance of “*MY* XYZ isn’t bad, it’s YOUR XYZ...” syndrome.
Alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana.
