The Friday File: Since recreational marijuana first became legal in Colorado on 1/1/14, an estimated 485,000 Coloradans, or 9% of the state’s population of 5.4 million, consume marijuana at least once a month. Of those 485,000 consumers, 30% or 145,500 persons, smoke pot or consume edibles more than 20 times a month. That population, just 3% of the total, consume 87% of all recreational pot sold. Talk about going green.

Tunnels Going to Pot
Authorities recently found 32 tons of pot after stumbling on a well built cross-border tunnel linking San Diego and Tijuana. The agents who made the discovery were surprised. I wonder why; they have found over 70 such tunnels since 10/08, more than in the previous 6 years! Why, the proliferation? Because of increased and improved border crossing and land enforcement by ICE agents. Digging to avoid detection is a natural economic response.
