Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
We love it when a comment on one topic starts a conversation on another.
That's what happened regarding a Comment of the Day arguing that Colorado drivers suck in every kind of weather.
Then, the subject shifted thanks to the following reader, who argues that a lot of problems are being caused by people coming to Colorado for legal marijuana — and he works for the cannabis industry.
Here's what he has to say.

I work in the marijuana field here and 85% of the people I meet are from out of state.... Everyone's bringing their shitty habits and shitty driving with them.... GO THE FUCK HOME!!! Ur making our traffic suck, our property values to sky rocket. For what? Because ur state still condemns u for smoking weed? That sucks.... Go home and fight for it, that's what we did.... Instead of taking the easy way out and flooding our state.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
