We have hundreds of thousands of people visiting Denver for the cannabis tourism every year. That brings MILLIONS to the state in revenue- both in the industry and outside (hotels, restaurants, etc. all get a boost from sources of tourism.)
They currently have no legal venue to consume and when they do they often have no oversight into their consumption. (Maybe Grandma should hold off on eating that entire 100 mg edible?)
