In many ways, it's the age of access to pot.As of last November, more than 20 percent of Americans live in states that have voted to legalise recreational marijuana use. A majority live in states that allow access to medical marijuana.
In Colorado,<a data-ipb="nomediaparse" href="http://www.businessinsider.com.au/cultivating-spirits-marijuana-pairing-dinner-2017-2/">cannabis aficionados can attend</a>US$125 per person dinners, where multiple varieties of weed are paired with chef-prepared gourmet meals.

"The practical use and legalisation of these things is happening faster than the science can keep up.".....
