Colorado is only doing well in the pocket book , and that's because of all the surrounding states where people are flooding in from to buy pot and take it back to where it's illegal . How many of those people do you figure are smoking dope while driving back to where they came from ?  What about the increased emergency room visits by young kids who have got into their parents edible pot thinking it was ordinary cookies ? Or the house fires and explosions from people converting pot ? How many teenage kids are going to tell their parents what they are up to ?  It defies logic that if there is more of any substance in the home be it potato chips , pop , beer , or ice cream , that kids aren't going to have more access to it.  Heck , when I was a kid my dad used to hide the cookies from us kids but we were smart enough to find them.  How many kids take alcohol  from their parents home bar ?   Pot users didn't obey the law before legalization and they won't obey it now.  Pot cures nothing .
