Marijuana Dispensary Seeks Naming Rights For Mile High Stadium
CBS Denver ^ | April 1, 2016

Posted on 04/02/2016 8:46:38 AM PDT by kevcol

The recent bankruptcy filing by Sports Authority has raised questions about possibly renaming the stadium the Broncos play in, and a marijuana company is one such interested buyer.

Native Roots is one of Colorado's largest dispensaries. It expanded from one to 14 stores over the last year. The marijuana dispensary chain said they are fully ready to make a multi-million dollar commitment if the contract between Sports Authority Field at Mile High and Sports Authority ever ends.

They also acknowledged the poor timing of announcing the news on April Fools' Day, but insisted that they are serious about the proposal.

"It's not a joke, we're very serious," said founding partner Rhett Jordan.

I’m really surprised the legal grass movement isn’t moving faster across the US.
I figured the tax take would be irresistable to state legislatures.

Maybe it’s just me . . . but doesn’t “Mile High” already kind of endorse the reefer industry?

Wouldn’t going back to Mile High Stadium be good enough?

“How about Eight Mile High Stadium?”

Instead of the Broncos, call them The Byrds?

A very good idea. Such a sports monument can stand as a visible symbol of America’s degeneration.

No!! Because it would literally become a shrine devoted to marijuana. A toking temple, as it were. If this company had other purposes, other brand images to display, maybe, otherwise, you are just planting more problems for the future.

Don’t worry, as time goes on state by state, city by city will be faced with bankruptcy because the homeowners and businesses are simply tapped out.

Believe me, many are already talking casino’s in one form or another, and legalized weed as well.

Also on the table (but never reported) is taking away the tax exemption of Christian Churches and other non-PC organizations. You may have heard that the Feds have been salivating over the 19+ trillion dollars in 401K’s and IRA’s. Stealing that money is coming too.

They’ll do it because they can.
