You're leaving out that most of Colorado has prohibited dispensaries or greatly marginalized them. Legalization is mostly in Denver. This is anecdote, but I've heard both from Denver-area residents and visitors that burnouts with few prospects have been drawn to Denver like moths to a flame, and that it has in no uncertain terms had a deleterious effect on the city.

You can see for yourself: shops are everywhere in Colorado (except for sparsely populated areas, obviously). https://www.coloradopotguide.com/where-to-buy-marijuana/

Before making assertions, at least do some basic fact-checking. It doesn't help the discourse to manufacture facts.

Given that you put words in my mouth elsewhere in these comments, I don't think you should be one to give advice on "discourse" and "assertions."

The site I linked to clearly shows that there are cannabis shops all over Colorado, not just in Denver: Boulder, Durango, Pagosa Springs, etc. etc. So I'm not putting any words in your mouth, just quoting you directly and then showing that the data contradicts your statements.

Elsewhere in these comments you blindly accused me of being in favor of prohibition. You can't set the rules and then flaunt them. Which is why I rolled my eyes at your talk of "discourse" and "assertions." Give me a break. That you couldn't even connect those dots speaks for itself.
