On Wednesday, legal recreational marijuana went on sale in Denver. How's it gone so far?

Denver officials say they haven't seen any flagrant violations of the ordinance against public consumption, and the Marijuana Enforcement Division hasn't reported any violations of the strict product labeling and tracking guidelines. Some retailers are even going beyond Amendment 64's requirements, asking shoppers to sign a "customer agreement" that outlines where you can use and who you can share with.

"Pot fears were unfounded," the Denver Post declared Thursday morning. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock is also happy with the roll-out.

This also means Colorado, despite efforts to avoid the reputation, is now open for pot tourism. Shoppers from out-of-state can buy up to a quarter ounce of marijuana at a given store, and they're legally allowed to hit as many stores as they like. (Though, like Colorado residents, they cannot possess more than an ounce total).

1. 1 oz per person. .

The secondary market of local personal consumption growers giving away their overages for donations will be as big as the legitimate market. .Craigslist and all. .

2. The people who were against legalization, the drug cartels, criminals

and the people who profited by putting pot smokers behind bars are wondering what they're going to do next. .
