Without touching on the politics OR the philosophy of the various members here - the fact of the matter is that as of January 1, 2014, smoking herb (weed, ganja, flower, whatever) is NOW LEGAL in the State of Colorado (though still illegal from the Federal perspective). People now openly possess and consume that most noxious of plants on the streets of Denver. Openly and in accordance with "local" law.
So; how do you folks think this will affect RMAF? Will attendance increase dramatically? (pot tourism) Will we see clusters of middle-aged white men of conservative appearance standing in the parking lot passing a joint? Will we see glassy eyed exhibitors? Will some attendees experience "brain lock" and sit for hours in particularly good sounding rooms? Will there be a run on Twinkies? (I think that little snack bar in the lobby will be sold out by 11:00 AM)
Do you think the "big time" critics will be indulging their "walk on the mild side" - will Valin get high? How about RH? (I say yes on Valin, no on Harley). How about our own Miles B. Astor (I really, really doubt that). How will this purported "enhancement of perception" affect their reviews?
Will the "straights" heave disdain on the benevolently blasted? Beat them from their chairs (that they have been sitting in for hours) with bad sounding power cords? Will the mood in the hallways be more mellow?
Will we see a glassy eyed exhibitor say, "aw to hell with it - its just marketing and voodoo nonsense - lets adjoin to the whatever room and spin some Zep"
Will the bar be packed at 11:00 AM?
Will everybody take themselves far less seriously? Reputedly that noxious weed does enhance hearing (of course I wouldn't know about that) but it also tends to take out some self-absorption, especially from the pompous and overbearing.
I know this - I am going - look for me in the parking lot - conservative appearance and old. Come on over and introduce yourself.
