DEBUT OF RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA SALES

Reading all the hype on the new marijuana laws and freedoms in 
Colorado reminds me of carp feeding at a fishing dock. One would 
think a popular rock star was building a home in Colorado and was 
inviting all citizens to come and be a part of it. Do we really want 
Colorado to be known as the weed capital of the world? Do we want our 
children growing up thinking smoking pot is as natural - and as legal 
- - as cigarettes and alcohol? Colorado has opened a can of worms that 
we will live to regret as health issues, crime and negative fallout 
descends on us like a black night.
