Marijuana sales in Colorado yield huge profits in first week, with Jon Stewart making the case for weed against the talking heads like Bill O’Reilly who are very confused.

LEAVE IT to Jon Stewart to take down the anti weed talking heads and bloviating windbags, also taking aim at our society and culture that lauds the benefits of being buzzed on booze.

Bill O’Reilly makes the classic mistake of trying to wrap weed and teen texting into a scary case of addiction, which leads to hilarity and a segue into David Brooks, as well as Joe Scarborough, and the Fox News morning crew, all sounding daffy amid alcohol testimonials that render many of the anti weed crowd hypocrites.

The news out of Colorado should make other states wake up and dream about ganja.

From Huffington Post:

Colorado, the first state to allow retail recreational marijuana sales to adults age 21 and older, has projected nearly $600 million in combined wholesale and retail marijuana sales annually. The state, which expects to collect nearly $70 million in tax revenue from pot sales this year, won’t have its first official glimpse at sales figures until Feb. 20, when businesses are required to file January tax reports, according to Julie Postlethwait of the state Marijuana Enforcement Division.

Denver’s 9News was first to report statewide retail sales on New Year’s Day, the first day legal pot shops were allowed to operate, exceeded $1 million. Interest dropped in the days that followed, according to shop owners, but many reported customers still waiting in lines out the door.
