... to compete with next year's American-grown bumper crop.

If one million out of the five million Coloradans grow six plants at a time in four 90-day crops, that nicely equates to one home-grown plant per regular potsmoker per year in the United States (20-24 million, according to drugscience.org). It is my understanding that there are now a few strains that can be harvested in six weeks, which would double the estimate above.

I think that Colorado and Washington alone can meet the entire demand for marijuana in the United States, under a shroud of partial and dubious legality. Voters in those states may have inadvertently shut down an entire theater of the drug war... and opened up another!
