“A day to celebrate.” Rep. Jared Polis lauds Colorado marijuana industry during 4/20 grow op tour

Colorado Congressman and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jared Polis is celebrating 4/20 — but not like the throngs gathering in Denver’s Civic Center Park for the unofficial marijuana holiday.

Instead, Polis took the morning to laud Colorado’s marijuana industry during a tour of B Good dispensary and Llama Brand cultivation facility in Northglenn.

“It wasn’t that long ago that this day marked protest,” Polis told The Cannabist in an interview outside the dispensary. “Today it’s a day to celebrate success, a thriving industry supporting thousands of good jobs and putting drug dealers out of business.”
