Oh come on now Charlie, you are one of the people I was thinking of when i wrote more people need to try it and see what all of the fuss is about. From what I read many crime rates dropped in CO after they legalized the weed. And, you have been living in a State which has had almost legal weed for some time now and alcohol and mental illness still seem to be the big problems. There are have been tens of thousands of stoners all around you for decades and you may not have even noticed.
