The Mile High State?; Arizona’s quirkiest town

The Mile High State?

If some travel-industry entrepreneurs have their way, Colorado could become the Napa Valley of marijuana, said Sam Kamin and Joel Warner in Slate.com. Since Jan. 1, when the state became the first to allow the sale of recreational marijuana, cannabis connoisseurs have had their choice of 37 retail purveyors across the state, 18 of them in Denver. But a few startups are betting that some consumers crave more intimate contact with the growers who are nurturing and harvesting the weed on the shelves. My 420 Tours of Denver picks visitors up at the airport, shuttles them to pot-friendly hotels, provides all-access tours of local growing facilities, and even offers instruction on cooking with pot. The Valentine’s package, which starts at $2,300 a couple, features couple’s massages, a pair of ballet tickets, and a class on glass-blowing that provides lovers a chance to make their own bongs. Most activities end each day in time for a “happy hour” get together, which begins at 4:20 p.m.
