We all know drinking alcohol is more dangerous/harmful to your body than smoking trees. with that in mind i don’t get how we have so many bars and that’s no big deal and never has been, but when cannabis users need a place or two to medicate/recreate in a social environment in Denver, the cops shut it down…..wheres the logic in that? fact of the matter is that overall, pot users will be leaving these establishments less intoxicated than 90% of bar patrons.
