I think people who smoke pot will continue to smoke pot. I thought the law meant that if you are caught with pot on your person by the cops, if it's a
small amount, you will get a "ticket" rather than be charged with an offense that could put you in jail.

I personally have told my teenage son my preference is that he not drink OR try pot until he's over 21, but we talk openly about our opinions because I want to have good communication with him. He said that it seemed to him pot smokers were "happy and mellow" but drinkers seemed "more agressive".
I haven't read much about this. What income are you referring to?

I love Colorado! I was raised in a "skiing family". I lived in Vail for a while after graduating from college. I went skiing every day and loved it! hehehe
