I thought I would point out what is happening in Colorado that I have witnessed. I do not smoke often, but know I can smoke with my neighbors openly in their garage without having to hide it. My neighbor is a marijuana dealer who actually wanted the drug to remain illegal so he could continue his black market business. Since it is now legal, he has just been enjoying no longer having to hide his use. It is really refreshing to be completely comfortable partaking in weed on your own property and at your friends property.
My step bro no longer has to hide his use with his pot head friends either.
It has been said that in as little as two months Colorado's almost 600 strong, medical marijuana retailers can be converted to retailers for all those above 21. I cannot wait as I would like to get some THC soda and certain strains I liked back when I had my medical marijuana card.
I plan on growing three plants outdoors in my back yard every year. I have grown before and caring for the plants can bring as much joy if not more than partaking in the drug as infrequently as I do.
Downtown has smelled like weed more and more, and most people seem happy that they can be more open at work about their real beliefs of the drug. We no longer have to hide behind as much stigma, or other people's ignorance.
I am so proud of the people of Colorado and Washington.
