re: #279 Killgore Trout

BTW, have you checked out the legal pot scene there? I hear they’re going to use it to boost tourism. I checked out the “legal” scene here in Portland a few years ago and found it to be creepy, not the kind of thing like coffee shops in Amsterdam.

Nah. Not yet. There was talk about that. Colorado legalized pot but there’s just one thing and it’s called the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. There is no effort underway in congress or the White House to change things. Only in a few spots like Diana DeGette who wrote some letter to the DOJ calling for changes. She’s still opposed to marijuana legalization which is weird. On a side note. Our mayor and Gov. Hickenlooper were also opposed to requiring sick days for Coloradans.
