Pats fans hitting up Denver pot shops before big game

New England Patriots fans are already in a Mile High state of mind for this weekend’s AFC Championship showdown with the Broncos, seizing on the opportunity to score some pot from Denver marijuana shops just days after Colorado legalized weed for recreational use.

“We had 45 people from Massachusetts today — I’d say at least 80 percent of them are here for the game,” said Justin Staley, an owner of Mile High Medical Cannabis, a pot shop across the street from Sports Authority Field at Mile High. “We saw 250 to 300 San Diego Chargers fans last weekend. I know for a fact we’re going to see well over 300 Boston fans. You guys follow your team.”

Anybody know how much the wacky weed is selling for in Colorado? Not that I intend to buy any, just curious.

From the article:

Pot prices at Mile High Medical range from $12 for a gram of its “black label” to $50 for an eighth of its “connoisseur label” — but that doesn’t include a whopping 22 percent “grass tax.”

This just in: NFL stoner fans petition the league for the Broncos to have 16 home games a year plus automatic homefield throughout the playoffs and the Super Bowl every year.

I would guess the pot-smokers. They’re probably already seeing everything in slow motion.

Is a “flashback” anything like a “replay”?

I’ve heard that the altitude in Colorado gives you the best high when smoking weed. I know a guy who used to live there and he claims he can smoke good weed in Massachusetts but never get that same rocky Mountain high.

I would guess within 99.9% that the same folks who were stoned for the games pre Jan 1 will be stoned this weekend.

The stoner Pats fans get a free pass. No need to smuggle the reefer onto the plane, they can buy it there.
