    Ethical Question

    Even though medical and recreational marijuana is legal in Colorado you have to have lots of licenses to grow it. I don't know that I would. There are a lot of growing conditions it needs.

    Snow, beautiful snow

    While I know that those of you in the Midwest and Eastern part of the United States are extremely weary of snow, here on the Front Range of the Rockies it has been dry.
