here s randi kaye. look at those birds in the back. reporter: barbara harvey does not fit the stereotype. she s 72 years old, a grandmother, and she loves to smoke pot. so today is a dream come true. a cannibis tour, now one of the most popular attractions in denver. think napa valley wine tours, just replace the vice. these are all dispensaries in colorado. we have more dispensaries than starbucks. how sweet is that? reporter: tour members get vip access and are quickly ushered into private rooms to make their purchase. first stop is the 3d dispensary. what about joints? do you have some joints? we have some prerolls. this is so if you don t want to smoke the whole joint you can put the remainder for later into this. and store it. it doesn t get smashed up. what s that called? what s this called? a doob tube.

make their purchase. first stop is the 3d dispensary. what about joints? do you have some joints? we have some prerolls. this is so if you don t want to smoke the whole joint you can put the remainder for later into this. and store it. it doesn t get smashed up. what s that called? what s this called? a doob tube. [ laughter ] reporter: barbara buys two joints. the bud tender, as the guys behind the counter are called, enlightened us. kind of like a muscle relaxer on your bones. it s going to be very therapeutic for you. you re going to feel just total relaxation in your body. but still have a lot of clarity. that sound pretty good to you? oh, yeah. she ll take one. she ll take one. all right. let s go. reporter: time to hit the road again. america, what a great country. and i thought maybe someone would like to smoke a joint with me. fire it up. check this out. legal pot.
