The Day After
Epic is the only was to describe Jan 1, 2014 in Telluride Colorado. In a town of 3000 year round residents and twice as many tourists there were 2 shops selling recreational cannabis, the Telluride Green Room (TGR) and Alpine Wellness Center. Alpine was actually closed at 2pm for supposedly having improper packaging. The town had a state monitor pinballing between shops to enure legal compliance.

The Telluride Green Room had a 30 minute line all day. When TGR opened I took a picture of myself out front holding a local newspaper with the headline "prohibition ends" and a large leaf. Immediately the long line began cheering followed by numerous requests to use the newspaper for a similar photo op. When we came back later in the day people were talking pictures with the same paper including a 50 year old dad with 2 teenage sons and his wife. What surprised me was the variety of people in line; younger groups, older groups, people from all over the country travelled to Telluride just to experience the historical day. The excitement was exceptional and without end.

My visit to TGR was fun. I did purchase a gram just because it was historically symbolic. I was able to get a tour of the shop since a close friend was also close with the owner. Unfortunately, TGR was unable to sell edibles on day 1 because of their inability to meet packaging guidelines but they had plenty of herbal supply for the customers. The quality was average (I'm still partial to my home state of California for the best cannabis in the world) and a little pricey but the cost reflects the extraordinarily high taxes.

I talked to the owner of TGR about Dixie and MJNA. Unlike Los Angeles dispensary owners, the TGR owner knew of both MJNA and Dixie. The TGR actually carried Dixie and liked the product. He was also very sympathetic towards MJNA as it may help keep big corporations at bay. We discussed economies of scale and what happens when players like Altria get involved which is a big concern in this homegrown industry.

There is just too much to discuss and I don't have the time to post. I haven't even had time to check my stocks but I'm pretty sure it's been a good year so far. Hopefully others here have benefitted from listening to the movement, and not to those who are leeching on to the end of cannabis prohibition as a way to resurrect a career or spread fear into those with brave hearts.

Be well and I'll be back with more info from CO.
