“At least one marijuana dispensary in Colorado has reportedly begun accepting bitcoin. Colorado’s decision to legalize cannabis has been filling headlines for weeks, and the hype is still going strong.

Outside some dispensaries the queues of pot lovers are incredibly large, resembling the lines frequently formed in front of Apple Stores following an iPhone launch.
