Rocky Mountain Stoned. A Pricey High!!!

One really has to chuckle when watching the very intelligent, well-intended pot-sale advocates stumble around trying to justify the "green-rush" going on in Colorado.  My guess is dopers from all fifty states are showing up to buy some weed.....legally in Colorado...and here I go again, opening myself up to the attack from potheads who want to extol the virtues of marijuana for medical purposes.   I get it....I sort of understand the medical applications for cannabis, but all I ask of the critics is, to show me where I'm wrong when I suggest......the huge, I mean vast majority of knuckleheads lining up in Denver and environs to buy designer pot are looking for one result: to get stoned!    The price has doubled...probably quadrupled by now for the same ounce of weed they had out there a couple of weeks ago.  A few people are going to make a lot of money in a hurry selling dope, a lot of dopes are going spend a lot of money buying the stuff, at any price because it's legal, and this country takes another giant step into the dumbing-down process that has been rampant in this country for years.   Other than some tax money for state (s) stupid enough to legalize here-to-for illegal narcotics, there is nothing....I mean nothing good that can come from this Rocky Mountain high-priced high.
