This should get interesting! Any bets on how long this will tie up Federal Courts.
Marijuana users in Colorado and Washington are counting down the hours before the western US states become the first to legalize recreational pot shops on January 1.
Blazing a trail they hope will be followed in other parts of the United States, cannabis growers and others are also rubbing their hands, while tax collectors are eyeing the revenue the newly-legalized trade will generate.
Enterprising companies are even offering marijuana tours to cash in on tourists expected to be attracted to a Netherlands-style pot culture -- including in Colorado's famous ski resorts.

NOTE:] While the above article is approaching it from "pot users" and sellers perspective, watched a great interview on RTnews yesterday (couldn't find it online) where they interviewed someone in law enforcement. He pointed out.
Colorado will save 37 million dollars/year on trying & incarcerating small-time marijuana users.
Once legalized, the Cartels that sell drugs will be easier to catch, and won't be able to seduce young people onto drugs by selling, etc, etc.
