Unfortunately for Colorado, being one of the first in the country to 'legalize' or 'decriminalize' brought another set of problems with it. Decriminalization for
responsible adults is/was the easy part.
I live on a small farm outside of city limits. It is pretty interesting to say the least seeing all the hemp fields growing like weeds

)) all around us this time of year. The smell is in the air and it looks just the same as pot! It's really weird seeing it to say the least.
I also have a legal weed growing facility on the property just to the north of mine. It's somewhat amazing seeing the amount of energy that goes into the place. Super large greenhouses with multi colored lights, huge fans, etc.
Guess I'm old enough to remember friends not only going to jail, but prison for pot. You could easily say lives were ruined for much less activity than what we see around us everyday. I do think it's unfortunate the side issues that come up with it.
