DENVER'S GLARING POT-SHOP SIGNS

Marijuana is legal in Denver and Boulder. As you drive around 
Boulder, you will notice that the marijuana stores are low-key - 
almost invisible. Driving through Denver, the marijuana stores are 
quite glaring. To me, the visible marketing cheapens the look of Denver.

I suggest that Denver politicians can learn something from Boulder. 
Boulder's zoning laws tightly regulate marijuana marketing. I think 
that really helps Boulder's image.

Should low-key visual marketing be considered in Denver, the 
marijuana stores will complain about how much money they've invested 
in signage. I suggest the Denver City Council give them four years to 
recoup the investment, then make the stores take down the signs.

Denver can do better!
