Iraq war veteran Sean Azzariti described his purchase of recreational marijuana legally as a historic moment Wednesday.
“It’s huge,”
he said at a marijuana store along a light industrial corridor outside downtown Denver.
“It hasn’t even sunk in how big this is yet.”
Indeed, before the 3D Cannabis Center opened at 8 a.m. MT, more than 100 people were waiting in snowfall and cold under gray skies to be the next buyers of recreational pot under a landmark law voters approved in 2012. The dispensary was one of a handful that opened to lines of waiting people on New Year’s Day, with scores more expected statewide in coming months.
Do you smoke pot?
