Nothing strange about those smells in Colorado these days. You won't find those smells at the range. On the other had they waft from my neighbors back yard on a nightly basis. I have two "Dispensaries" within easy walking distance of my house. Even you tourists (and we have plenty of them) can buy it here, just not in the quantities locals can buy.
The dregs of the country are flocking to my previously conservative state these days, and they all vote. If you were to ask me 10 years ago where I intended to retire my response would have been right here. Just bought a house in Texas. I hope to stick it out here until I turn 65 and qualify for Medicare but you never know the way things are going, I'm one or two liberal ballot measures away from saying F*** it, paying the Obama care penalty and moving south before these fools get a chance to outlaw half my gun safe. The one bright spot in this entire Odyssey is that house prices here are through the roof. Looks like I'm going to make a serious profit on my current house when I do move.
