I’ve lived almost all my life in CO but I don’t know diddly about the marijuana biz and I don’t go to cities so I’m not familiar with the smell of pot everywhere either.
I do know that black market pot is still going strong here and, unlike CA, CO didn’t tax the crap out of it. In CA the legal pot shops are failing because of taxes and regulations and NOCA still has a thriving illegal grow biz going on.
Pot Taxes in California are 34% all in.
