Medical marijuana: Will Colorado's "green rush" last?
    #19317464 - 12/23/13 05:56 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Denver, Colo., has more medical marijuana dispensaries than Starbucks, but the budding business defies federal laws

The following is a script from "Rocky Mountain High" which aired Dec. 22, 2013. Steve Kroft is the correspondent. Frank Devine, producer.

Twenty states have now legalized the medical use of marijuana for 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.

Last year, voters in two states, Washington and Colorado, went so far as to approve marijuana for recreational use too. On New Year's Day, legalized, regulated and heavily taxed recreational marijuana goes on sale in Colorado, which as we reported last year, has the most developed medical marijuana industry in the country.

As we first reported before that vote, if you want to know what legalized marijuana might look like, the place to go is Colorado, which has the most developed medical marijuana industry in the country.

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. No stems and seeds here, just walnut-sized buds freshly harvested in the cultivation room out back.

Wow, more dispensaries than starbucks and mcdonalds combined. Sounds like there's no turning back now. I doubt anyone would want to put their name on something that would kill all those jobs.

Now we just need the other 48 states to follow suit and we might see an end to this human rights tragedy...

Weeds proven right there that they are economically sound provide jobs in which they pay $4 more than most employees at Starbucks and mcdonalds
