A Look at the Culture
When it comes to life with legal weed, the culture in Boulder has changed in minor, yet incredibly noticeable ways. Conor Friedersdorf wrote an article entitled “Life With Legal Weed,” and went through the town of Boulder, CO to have conversations with homeless men, middle-aged moms and college kids.
Among the several people he spoke to, several comments stuck out as a picturesque view of the city’s culture:
“I like homegrown organic weed, which really makes me sound like a Boulder hippie. But that’s the culture here. Very laid back, thoughtful and chill.”
“Would I rather hang out with someone who parties by drinking a lot or smoking? I’d much rather hang out with the smoker.”
“The only thing that’s changed in Boulder is that the activism has gone away since it’s become illegal. Farther down on Pearl Street, where it turns into a walking mall, all kinds of activists would say, ‘Hey, will you sign this petition so we can get weed legalized?’ Now that’s gone.”
“… unless you go to the dispensary it’s getting harder to find weed. I like buying my weed from people. It’s what I’m used to. When I travel, it’s a cool way to meet individual people who live an interesting lifestyle. That part of the culture is changing since legalization.”
So, things change. But generally, you’ll find the same chill, laid back, friendly culture you’ve always found here in this awesome town. The difference? Now you can buy weed from the local dispensaries.
