This California city rejected Marijuana and now it is an official tourism draw:

Judging by the city’s books, promoting weed was the smartest move.

Instead, for now, it’s more “educational,” city officials said—which, in a city that’s only relatively recently embraced its legal cannabis industry, is probably a smart move.

In addition to official encouragement to patronize Modesto’s legal cannabis stores rather than unlicensed sources, anyone who signed up for a CannaPass could pick up some stickers, a grinder, and a lighter from the local Cookies dispensary. Modest, maybe, but a deliberate slow start. And compared to where Modesto was a decade ago, it’s progress.
