We will simply have to wait and see if what Colorado has done is the right way to go. It was Colorado’s choice. Under our Constitution (as intended) other states could follow suit, go the exact opposite direction, or fall anywhere else on the issue. The results will be what they will be.
We’re next. Yesterday the Everett Herald published a combination spreadsheet-map indicating where licensed retailers, producers will be in Snohomish co. I know I’m out of touch, but to me it’s kind of sad. A lot of Sno. Co. that used to grow strawberries, corn, dairy cows, etc. were developed into housing tracts and shopping complexes. Now were having some new agriculture, but it’s not corn, strawberries or dairy cows. I know, progress. Don’t know if these new pot growers will be “family farms” of the kind celebrated by the farmers market and CO-OP, or agribusiness, and don’t really care.
