Recently I traveled to Denver, CO. As you may recall, Colorado legalized pot a few years ago – both possession and selling. This fact did not elude me, but I didn’t know how to broach it with the friends I would be staying with. Weed is a contentious subject: Some people are all about it, and others think partakers bear the Mark of the Beast.

Like it or not, pot is a ubiquitous commodity: While it may be illegal in most places, that hasn’t stopped its commerce. I remember learning that my middle school art teacher dealt (still does?) to the rest of the faculty and the nearby high school. I no longer blink when someone pulls out a Ziploc filled with green buds (or is it just bud? I’m really not savvy on drug lingo). However, it still is technically illegal, so this can limit discussions between unassuming millennials. You never know how someone might react.
