On Jan. 1, Colorado became the first state in the modern world to legalize marijuana from seed to sale, making it a pioneer in setting up a regulatory framework around legalized pot.
After voters approved Colorado Amendment 64, which allows for personal use of marijuana, the state struck a task force to deal with questions such as who would regulate marijuana sale and production, how to decide who could produce the drug and what restrictions should be placed on use of the drug.
University of Denver law professor Sam Kamin sat on that task force and said one of the first considerations was safety, including the issue of how to keep it out of the hands of children.
One of the main worries was gummy bears, gummy worms and sodas made with pot.
