Demand likely to outstrip supply at first as Colorado opens legal marijuana boutiques
Employees roll joints behind the sales counter at Medicine Man marijuana dispensary in Denver, which is to open as a recreational outlet at the start of 2014.
On Jan. 1, the first legal recreational marijuana outlets will open in Colorado. And with the rise of the new legal marijuana industry comes the question of what newly legal recreational weed should cost.

NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) are not allowed to study medical effects of cannabis, only abuse (video 25:20).
Of course that means the conclusion will be what is assumed in the first place (Rothschild might as well have said: I do not care what science says, what matters is who is in control of the laws)
