I love how these companies are okay with us being the most drunk state but god forbid some of us want to smoke some weed. What this sounds like to me is a lame ass excuse.

Oh the prohibitionists, so much fear and loathing in Colorado over (pot) . Sounds like the sky is falling again ... Listen with somewhat legalization of Cannabis and Hemp. The economy and jobs will only flourish with new buissness models and new entrepreneurs for the glorious Cannabis plant. If done right Colorado will have a very sustainable economy for years to come. So I say So What! It's our turn to make some money and help the peoples people.

Business people make decisions based on what is best for their 'bottom line'. The voters of Colorado voted for freedom. To suggest we should keep en-slaving people because a few Nazi's want to make some extra coin is down right 'UN' American.....

I don't see how it would apply, as companies follow federal law due to insurance purposes. So it makes no difference if marijuana is legal or not. Companies aren't going to stop drug testing.

Companies will avoid us because our priorities are askew. Politically we're considered a bit radical, socially we're seen as somewhat intolerant, and economically we're losing ground. We ain't got shit to offer them.

Why would it? Also, considering all the new business that marijuana is going to create by itself should we really care?

I agree with Charlie. There's no reason it would even come into play in a corporate decision of that magnitude. You're giving the emphasis on quality of life too much credit. It's not but a tiny portion of a rather large pie.

Why would it? I thought companies look for a high quality of life when choosing an area for relocation.

*** Police Seize 10 Pounds of Marijuana ***

Officers from the Lamar Police Department contacted the driver of the Greyhound Bus at Main and Holly and were given permission to deploy a drug detection K9.

The drug detection K9 alerted to a seat in the rear of the bus. A jacket and a pillow were sitting on that seat. Officers located a container with a small amount of marijuana in the jacket pocket. When the pillow was picked up it was abnormally heavy and foreign objects could be detected by feel inside the pillow. On scene investigation and interviews of other bus passengers revealed the individual who had been sitting in the seat when the bus arrived in Lamar.

Officers contacted the individual, who proved to be Jason Ramirez, age 35, of Denver. Ramirez denied being on the bus, although the bus driver was holding a bus ticket in his name. A computer check of Ramirez revealed he was wanted on two outstanding warrants. Ramirez was detained and transported to the Police Annex for further investigation.

A search warrant was applied for and obtained, which authorized officers to check inside the pillow. When the pillow was opened, Officers discovered several individually wrapped bricks which proved to contain marijuana. The total weight of the marijuana was over 11 pounds.

Companies continue to relocate here due to the educated workforce and desirable area. Charter Communications, who has no customers in Colorado, has much of their engineering operations here. Why? Because they can't get anyone who wants to live in St. Louis or the Midwest and has the skills needed. Utah may be pretty but has too many Mormons. Just try and raise children there and not be upset by the proselytizing. This is yet another "scare tactic" by the Amendment 64 opponents.

This state is going to use every useable acre to supply the planet with legal kind bud and for every one company that doesn't see that fit, there will be a 1000 more bidding for prime Colorado legal cannabis real estate and market share. This is just the beginning folks things are about to really take off and we're all gonna be sitting on a gold mine of ganja dollars!

@zz_man If the foreign stuff is a better value, people will buy that. Brickweed has to be a lot cheaper to be a better value, and remember the federal war on drugs is still on, so they have expenses. I think the people who are already consuming pot will be the people who consume pot forward from here, and those people will tend to want to get their hands on fresh local stuff.

The inability to buy retail may be an issue, which is why people might want to pay attention to who's growing--if they're telling. Remember, patients who've been growing for themselves can now unload their overage, an ounce at a time, which wasn't really possible before without risking the ability to keep producing your own medicine.

What we really need is some sort of low-key exchange. I'd like to move some of what I have for some varieties I haven't tried.
