> "I do find it funny that everyone here is jumping to find excuses for why it's not that big of a deal" Nah -- just trying to figure out why your experience is so drastically different from ours. You're like "weed EVERYWHERE, it dominates EVERYTHING" and I'm confused because it hasn't impacted my day-to-day existence in the slightest. My grandpa (born in Denver in 1921) hasn't noticed it and he lives across from Kepner middle school. I guess that one stretch of globeville by the Purina plant (I-70 and York) smells terrible, but it's not worse than it always has been, just different (dog food and weed are both stinky.) But I live in a single-family home with a yard in a low-income neighborhood, rather than an apartment building in a low-income neighborhood, so the airflow from my stoner neighbors 2 houses down is insignificant. On the other hand, my little sister lived in an apartment just south of Glendale before legalization, and she always complained about her stoner neighbors.

So you're saying my experience is unique by providing your sister's experience that is the same?

  my sister's experience was pre-legalization. (Please don't be snarky.) Your experience seems to be unique in this thread, in that you say things got substantially worse as a result of legalization. I'm just trying to make sense of it in light of everything else I know of -- my own experience and those of my family and friends and others commenting here. I notice a slight change in the type of funk in the air near the Purina plant, but no change in the general public. The complaint that "some stoner in my apartment is making it hard to breathe" is an old one. Did your complex have a sudden influx of stoners? Did they come from out of state because of legalization? Is there something particular about your complex that makes it attractive to people who are coming for the weed? Is there something particular about my neighborhood that makes it unattractive to people who are coming for the weed? I just don't know how to build a pattern with your experience as one data point and all these other experiences as the rest of the data.
