I'd also like to find a way to get a CO ID. It doesn't really have to be fake, but would still be tricky. I'm about 8-10 hours away from where the nearest shop would be.

Go to CO, rent a mailbox at a UPS store or Mailboxes etc. It will list as a physical address.
Go to the DMV and say you want an ID card because you're going to be working in the state. Use the address of your mailbox.
You're welcome.

Time to apply to the DEA, their numbers will be surging as soon as a republican president is elected.

No way... once those repubs see how much money Colorado will make off of this, you'll be shocked at how fast their attitudes change. $$$ > morals for the GOP.

Ha... I guess if you are willing to get a fake ID in CO just to get the weed, you aren't too concerned about transporting it back home.

I suppose what im getting at is... get it from the black market closer to home if you are going to that much trouble.
less travel with a stinky oz of green the better.
or y'know just grow it yourself. dependant on your consumption, a person can easily be self sufficient with a 3'x3' area or a slightly larger grow but once a year.

True... but even taxed at a state level, the price of legal weed is still waaaaay cheaper than comparable black market weed. So there is temptation. Plus you know exactly what you are getting and where it comes from. Not always the case even on the most friendly black market. My friend lives out in Cali and I am amazed at the pricing and selection he has. It's like zanadu out there.

Gonna be extremely overpriced, especially since it'll be heavily taxed.

No it won't. 'Medical' weed out in Cali is still about $100-$200 cheaper per ounce than similar black market stuff here (for really high grade stuff). Pot heads will gladly pay a $50 tax on an ounce when they are paying 1/2 price for the product.
Most places I know of are at about $20/gram for high grade stuff. Out in Cali you get the same stuff for $8-$12/gram.

I live in cali. You can get club level weed on the streets for a lot less than what you get at the clubs. Then in Colorado on top of that you'll get a 25 percent tax.

Hmmm... that's true. Legalizing it will crush the black market in those areas so that's probably why it's so cheap by you. I was referring to the majority of the states (like NY here) that it is not legal in. It is much cheaper to get it through legal avenues (or would be) for guys like us. But once it became legal, I'm sure the black market price would plummet. In fact it will eventually fade away if this continues across the country.

The crazy thing is that is impossible to tell if it was bought legally or not; so while it is overpriced, the black-market will still exist and will be a cheaper alternative.
Personally I've always been on the fence about this issue specifically because of this element.
Legalize it, great, but the three main issues come with this; greedy companies charging too much, adding chemicals, and the fact that companies do not care how legal the drug is in drug tests.

Dispensaries will often tell you exactly what grower they are getting their weed from where as on the black market, you can get anything. I'd be much more worried about getting tainted stuff from the street than from a dispensary. If it tobacco companies start getting involved, then you have more to be worried about. But they aren't yet.

Exactly. I know people who have cannabis cards but buy off the streets. Been checked by cops and were fine because of their cards. Same will surely happen in Colorado.
People will still buy off the streets but then there will be people buying from the dispensaries for many reasons. One being that its a sense of being safe and not committing any crimes.
