March 11 news story. I don't see a problem with Denver being a mecca for pot users. The city will see increased revenues from the direct tax on marijuana, and travelers' expenses. The inevitable surge in Cheetos and Goldfish purchases could generate billions of tax dollars. The argument of increased crime due to marijuana has been repeatedly proven false by dispensaries. So I say to Denver: Respect the voters and enjoy the monopoly while you have it. It won't last; Americans are quickly coming to their senses on this issue.
