Colorado is taking the first step to end prohibition and is hoping other states will follow. This is the very first licensed recreational marijuana store; its doors are set to open January 1st 2014. The shop is owned by Strainwise which is a company that owns eight dispensaries in Colorado and hopes all eight shops are approved for the recreational license.

I think that this is awesome because, as we learned from the 18th amendment that prohibition does not help with anything. Now we are working to abolish Prohibition.
