Colorado's Democrat governor is not too happy with the whole legal weed thing:
He said that he tells other governors to “wait a couple of years” before legalizing marijuana as Colorado continues to navigate an unknown, nonexisting federal regulatory landscape for the industry.
That's exactly the approach I advocated in the runup to the election here; the prudent move would have been to wait a while in order to benefit from the experiences in Washington and Colorado. We've already seen issues related to edibles, especially when children get ahold of them, in both states. As well, Washington's growers and distributers have issues with the concurrent "medical marijuana" dispensaries, primarily because the playing field is uneven: the dispensaries aren't subject to the testing and taxation requirements by which recreational growers and distributors are expected to abide.
This means that users can obtain weed less expensively through dispensaries.
