“Twenty states have now legalized the medical use of marijuana for the treatment of things like glaucoma, the effects of chemotherapy, and chronic pain; defying federal laws that still consider marijuana more dangerous than cocaine and methamphetamine. In Denver, if you want to find a medical marijuana dispensary, just look for the green cross. You won’t have to go far. There are 204 of them in the Mile High City — that’s roughly three times the number of Starbucks and McDonald’s combined. They come in all sizes and shapes. There is the health food store motif and ’70s style head shops. There are storefronts pitching low cost weed, and boutiques offering gourmet ganja.”
