Osgood it seems in Colorado State law has caught up with the john denver song, Rocky Mountain high. Our cover story by barry petersen. Here is a scene you dont see very often. Fundraiser for a symphony that is byop, that is bring your own pot. And how about this. Friends getting together after work not just for drinks but for pot and munchies. In most places in the u. S. Parties like these would be illegal. But were in colorado. The first state in the nation to legalize sales of marijuana for recreational use. There are parties all over denver when the law passed in 2012. And lines stretched around the block last january on the first day of sales. Business has been booming ever since. Tourists have been incoming to the state, estimated 80,000 people were at this massive marijuana celebration in april. And believe it or not there are now more pot shops in denver than there are starbucks. But not everyone was eager to jump on the marijuana bandwagon. Including c. s democratic governor, john. I opposed it, i didnt want to be the first. Would have much rather done it as a nation together. But were involved whether we like it or not in one of the great social experiments of the 21st century. How do we make this thing work . This great new experiment has deep roots in history. For centuries marijuana was used as a medicine. Queen victorias doctor prescribed it to ease her menstrual cramps. But it was virtually unknown in the u. S. Until the early part of the 20th century. Its an old plant but relatively new to our culture. The founder of normal, the National Organization for reform of marijuana laws. The only people that anyone knew in this country that smoked marijuana during the early years were either mexicanamerican migrant workers. In fact there was racial prejudice at that time. And some of our early government officials took advantage by running refer madness campaigns. That it was really a killer drug. That if you smoked marijuana you would commit violent acts. You would end up going insane. A condition caused by the drug marijuana. Marijuana was outlawed by the federal government in 1937. Then in 1970 it was classified as whats called a schedule one narcotic, to this day its in the same class as heroin. That means using, selling or even just possessing marijuana can carry harsh penalties. In this case use of the criminal law causes more harm than the drug itself. Spent his career trying to change that. In 1996, largely due to lobbying by his Group California became the first state to allow marijuana sales for medical use. Since then, 21 other states and District Of Columbia have passed laws allowing marijuana for patients with illnesses like cancer, aids, epilepsy. Now, three or four or five major polls, shows 58 of the public now support the legalization of marijuana regardless of why you use it. In colorado even the formerly skeptical governor says his initial fierce are being balanced in part by benefits. Generally not spoking now. We havent seen a giant increase in the number of people smoking marijuana assuming their giving honest answers. Generally the people that were smoking are still smoking. The taxes are whatever. That money is now staying in colorado and creating jobs and generating taxes. In just the first three months of this year, the state collected more than 7 million in taxes on recreational sales. But here is the rub. Marijuana is still illegal under federal law. So while pot has come out of the closet, pot money cant find its way in to the federal banking system. That means growers and sellers are forced to deal almost exclusively in cash. But have to hire armed guards to protect tens of thousands of dollars even have to take bags full of cash to pay their state taxes. She runs medicine man, a thriving marijuana business. Very scary. For me as a person who manages the money also a Public Health risk we have to our employees in cash at times. So they have cash in their pockets. Theres a lot of cash being then around colorado. Governor just signed legislation that will set up an instate credit union for marijuana money. But its unlikely to fix the problem any time soon. Go through the Federal Reserve, be approved by the Federal Reserve that is going to be tricky. Despite the challenges, legalization is gaining momentum. Washington made recreational pot legal, sales will begin there this summer. Alaska will vote this november and oregon where petition drive is now underway. States experiment Obama Administration has taken a look the other way approach. But in couple of years, a new president may in the. You could have a new Administration Come in and easily try to close down the commercial business, its not hard, we have their addresses. Its possible that the federal government could do a 180 under a Different Administration and say to colorado, close the stores or well come in and close them for you. Yes. But for now, a gathering like this one in boulder is a choice instead of a crime. And the man who opposed legalization, the governor, now sees that colorado may change minds ever so slowly across america. It didnt pass by one or two percent, more than 10 . More votes than president obama. It sure did. If we do our job the other states will follow and we might ten years down the road see a point where the country is much more tolerant as a nation. Osgood next, flight of fancy. Mortgage process here tellat quicken loans. Zing we care about your loan as much as you do. Were not just number crunchers. Im your buddy. Im your team mate.

[ male announcer ] best foods mayonnaise dressing with olive oil. The delicious taste of best foods, with the goodness of olive oil. The delicious taste of best foods, osgood no a page from sunday morning almanac. 125 years ago today. The day future of aviation got a vertical lift. That was the day egor was born in the city of kiev then a part of russia. He fell in love with the idea of flight and dreamed of making good on the 16th century design for a rotary wing aircraft. By age 20, he built his first primitive helicopter a failure, he would say, to the extent it could not fly. He became a pilot and aeronautical engineer. Designing the first four engine aircraft in 191 while in his early 20s. In 1919 in the wake of the russian revolution, sakor,ski pioneered a number of designs. In partnership with Charles Lindbergh he helped Development Pan American Airways overseas. The the flying boat that heralded the glamorous new era of transportation. But through it all he never lost sight of the dream of vertical flight. And in 1940 he piloted the vs300 the air worthy oneman helicopter. Hardly the last. That initial flight sakorski was the largest helicopter manufacturer in the world. He died in 1972 at the age of 83, his company goes on. Producing among other models familiar black hawk helicopter for the u. S. Military. And earlier this month he won a mr. Than 1 billion contract to build new fleet of marine 1 helicopters to serve. Very long leap from leonardo. Osgood coming up. The real gerber baby. ,,,,,, c of course every mom and dad thinks their baby is the cutest ever. When it comes to the most widely recognized baby picture, rita braver says theres little doubt. Special nutritional needs through the years has made gerber baby specialists. The face that launched a billion spoons. The little cherub with the Chubby Cheeks is known as the gerber baby. Seen on shelves in 63 countries. What many people dont realize is that face wasnt the ideal creation of some clever advertising executive. Its a portrait of a real baby. Her name is anne turner cook. I always had that expression with my mouth hanging open. Kind of a quizzical expression. Now 87, she was just a few months old when a connecticut neighbor, artist dorothy hope smith, made a sketch of her from a if he toe similar to this. In 1928 entered it in a contest held by a Canning Company looking for a baby to advertise its new product. When did you realize that you were the gerber baby . When i was very young, i was probably three years old when mother pointed out the baby food jar said that was my picture. I thought it was quite a lovely thing. Its everybodys idea of the perfect baby. The original pencil sketch is treated like a hellly relic at gerber headquarters. Maryland knox is ceo. Is it possible that this picture really had a role in the success theres little doubt. That face is honored as the best far our child. No wonder the face is carved in stone near the main entrance. But cook is not the only v. I. P. In this Great American success story. It is meet sally gerber she was a few months old in 1927 when her mother, dorothy, was struggling to make baby food by squishing peas through a sieve. My father is in the canning business he said we could do that. Gerber baby food was born. Offer the next 85 years, growing in to the multibillion dollar behemoth it is. For anne turnercook was a High School English teacher now a great grandmother. Famous portrait a constant source of pride and amusement to her family. My own children would go to a Grocery Store point to the gerber baby food say, thats mimers picture. We would be walking by, i didnt know whether to stop and or just grin and go on. Dorothy hopesmith reportedly received just a few hundred dollars for her drawing. But in the early 1950s, app turnercook was compensated for her role in the gerber saga. It was enough to make a down payment on a modest house and to buy a first car. Why do you think people love that sketch . It reminds them of their own babies. Everybody says, my baby or my grandchild looks like the gerber baby. And it doesnt matter the ethnicity. I say, yes, im sure they do. I dont think of anything nicer than to be a symbol for babies, thats what i think i became. Osgood ahead. Lady sings the blues. And, word play. Charles osgood related . Hes as good as it gets. They.
