Colorado Springs Independent, 24 Oct 2012 – Colorado’s close-up, Part 1 On Sunday night, 60 Minutes reported on the medical marijuana industry in Colorado with a piece titled – you guessed it – "Rocky Mountain High." The CBS report comes out two weeks before voters here and in Oregon and Washington state vote on whether to legalize marijuana use in general. And with reporter Steve Kroft marveling that there are 204 medical marijuana dispensaries in the Denver area – three times the number of Starbucks and McDonalds combined – the segment highlights how mainstream the plant’s presence has become in Colorado.
