DENVER - Marijuana magazines are under scrutiny in Colorado, where lawmakers might require stores to put them behind the counter.
The unusual provision to treat pot magazines like pornography faced a hurdle in the Senate Thursday. It was added to a marijuana regulation measure last week when the House debated it.
High Times magazine says the provision would make Colorado the only state to treat pot magazines like porn. A lawyer for the magazine says it would consider suing if the provision is signed into law.
The Senate committee considering the magazine provision is also debating whether to retain another contentious measure added by the House to the regulation bill. That is whether to revive a blood-level driving limit rejected four times by the Senate.

I've seen a business philosophy, which goes unadvertised. Foodies talk of sushi chefs, or even backyard BBQ'ers, who work only through word-of-mouth.
(This would ostensibly be under-the-table, and under the radar of regulators.)
While I am vocally against censorship, I get the idea that the publisher wants to be ubiquitous, inescapable, like the advertisers on every drink container, DVD rental, grocery store receipt, billboard, facial tattoo, or other available surface.
I wouldn't hold it against most any sort of merchant, if he were to become filthy rich.
But, I think people should be allowed *not to see product placement, no matter how mainstream the product.
De-fund, too-big-to-fail brands. Put those away from people who don't care to see them. See if they can compete in a free market.

This is stupid. You dont need to be a certain age to buy 'guns n ammo' or any other gun magazine, nor to buy beer brewing or cigar aficionado magazines... Nor to kids need to be a certain age to see alcohol and tobacco commercials on TV or ads in video game magazines...
More restrictions and regulations are NOT the way to go..

I think this should be the least of our worries.

should pot be sold in shady little shops with black tinted windows and where most people wouldnt wanna be caught dead in... and the only people in the place are compulsive masturbaters, borderline pedophiles and men who occasionally perform gratuitous acts of sex on animals? And dont forget the poppers!
