Just saw an article about how reclassifying #marijuana may help help Colorado's "weak tourism" in the industry.
... No. CO weed tourism has declined because it is just as legal in half the country. People only traveled here for it when it was one of the only states it was allowed.
The law change is awesome. But folks are deluding themselves here if they think the schedule of the drug is meaningfully impacting demand.
