4:20

Called down to Denver for a meeting and it happens to be April 20 4/20 (month/day - us style) and tibia related to 4:20 pm? As the time to consume weed. And so there is a 'counterculture' celebration of smoking weed. As an aside - a referendum: ' proposition 64' in Colorado legalised the sale of weed for recreational purposes. Interestingly - based on my less-than-scientific investigations - the age for purchase of weed is 18 and the demon drink 21.

It is becoming big business - taxes flowing (32% recreational 8% for medical use) the med card costs $150 for a 'consultation' ie do you have problems sleeping? Anxiety? Ok you are in!. As far as I can make out most 'young folk' carry a card.

The hotel staff are having caniptions - non smoking but the smell of weed pervades as merchants are staying and have samples in their rooms. It is all heavily GM'd 'not like when I was a kid' says the manager......

All in all a bit of a non event - but lots of money in it and look for a shake-out from mom and pop to corporate $$$$$$
