Medical marijuana dispensaries thrive in Colo.
The Associated Press
By CLLEEN SLEVIN(AP)–2 days agoBULDER Colo. — Boulder County Caregivers offers 16 glass jars of marijuana with names like Skinny Pineapple and Early Pearl Maui priced at $375 to $420 an ounce. There are marijuana capsules and snacks made with cannabis butter such as rice crispy treats. Co-owner Jill Leigh urges customers to try a syrupy tincture she calls “the Advil of medical marijuana. ” A drop under the tongue gives less of a high but the same pain relief as smoking she says. Leigh’s sales are legal — and taxed — under Colorado’s voter-approved medical marijuana law. Her marijuana dispensary and nearly 60 others serve a rapidly growing number of users with little oversight.
