US CO: Easing Pot Laws Poses Challenge

The Times-Tribune, 18 Jun 2012 – DENVER – Michael Jolton was a young father with a 5-year-old son when Colorado legalized medical marijuana in 2000. Now he’s got three boys, the oldest near adulthood, and finds himself repeatedly explaining greenleafed marijuana ads and "free joint" promotions endemic in his suburban hometown. "I did not talk to my oldest son about marijuana when he was 8 years old. We got to talk about fun stuff. Now with my youngest who’s 8, we have to talk about this," said Mr. Jolton, a consultant from Lakewood.
