This is a bunch of crap.

Durango has been a semi-hippie ski town since the 70’s.

Before that it was a drab, boring, burnt out mining town trapped in the 50’s.

Maybe this duck of a reporter has never been there before but it’s actually a lot better now then it was 30 years ago: nice restaurants, upscale housing that’s not cheap (unless you want to move to Cortez), and the ski area is actually reasonably well run now.

Yeah I agree... reads like a bunch of crap to me... My mom and step dad lived up on the mountain out of Durango along the train route to Silverton, until he passed a few years ago. We could see the Rockwood station from their house and every train up and down the mountain every day. I have not been there since they legalized, Had never been there before, but I saw everything mentioned in this article every trip I made from the late '90s on, its nothing remotely new.

And trying to blame a harmless plant God put on this earth for our use, geez, How did mankind survive and flourish all these years until we criminalized a natural plant in 1937?? Cant believe all these comments on this thread sound like they are coming from a bunch of brain washed government educated fools.... REEFER MADNESS, REEFER MADNESS! But, no problem with a few drinks after work every night right?? I keep seeing these daytime talk shows and even news segments getting in on the mixed drink fad... continually showing them making and drinking all these mixed drinks. Pushing alcohol on daytime TV when we know it kills thousands of people every year both directly and indirectly.
