"Dude, I can't believe I have to wear a polo to work this morning."

The New York Times takes a look at the measure Breckenridge recently passed that allows town residents to carry small amounts of marijuana. It should be stressed that possession is still illegal on federal and state levels, though it seems like a city ordinance is good enough for most people in the town.

Breckenridge’s part-time mayor, who voted against the measure, said that of the three dozen e-mails he’s received from the public the response has been mixed.

About half of the messages were negative, Dr. Warner said, and included comments from people who said they had canceled reservations and would never come back. Other respondents said they were thrilled about the town’s vote and could hardly wait to visit and spend some money.

Go ahead and add a 10x multiplier to the positive messages. People who regularly smoke are definitely excited about the measure, though it’s unlikely they’ll take the time to e-mail you. On the other hand, people who oppose it have little better to do than write angry e-mails to a part-time mayor of a small town.
