Even if you are against recreational drugs like I am, I still gotta give these guys credit for innovation and thinking out of the box.

If dope is legal is Colorado, why smuggle it from Mexico?

Why not just buy it in Colorado and move it within the country? Got to be easier than dealing with the border.

I have to say I've never thought about that aspect of it. As others here indicate, marijuana from Mexico may be cheaper/more profitable. But still, the states bordering Colorado -- do they have roadblocks? Drug sniffing dogs? Do they find that they need to take any steps at all from having Marijuana smugglers cross state lines?

CO is being sued by neighboring States like NE for damage due to pot exportation, or perhaps better said, the fact that pot is legal in CO, is causing issues with other states, and so the filing of law suits seems to be the first solution.

The Cartels will always undercut the legal stuff. Black market weed is alive and well in CO /WA. It just isn’t as good as the legal stuff from what I read.

And I thought the trebuchet contest at the High School was just for fun!
I even went to watch it.

The cyclic rate for a trebuchet is a bit slow.
But not too loud.
