“Legalizing pot in Colorado changed everything. Cultures were transformed, entrepreneurs descended on the state, and people couldn’t stop talking about it.”
As a bartender in the heart of Colorado Ski Country, Johnny Welsh started to see major changes after marijuana was decriminalized in 2014. From elderly tourists asking his advice on the best pot shops, to “gangapreneurs” capitalizing on the new industry…Welsh writes about it all in his new book Weedgalized: True Tales from the High Country.

The book doubles as a reference guide, listing Colorado dispensaries, marijuana stocks and more
