The first time I visited my sister in Colorado after they legalized I stopped at a dispensary on the way from the Airport.
When I walked in there was a security guard at the door - it was a large, fully uniformed Colorado state trooper! I almost freaked out, started to stammer that I had accidentally walked into the wrong place, please don't arrest me.......and he said "Recreational or medicinal?"
(he was asking because medical permit holders don't stand in line and go to a separate area) I managed to croak out, "Recreational," and he indicated which line to get in.
It was hard to process as I walked out with something that I have been using off and on since the late 70s that, instead of arresting me if I dropped it on the ground in front of him, he would have said, "Excuse me sir, you dropped your weed."
