@@@ DENVER (CBS4) The business of getting people high has produced some high returns for entrepreneurs in Colorado, but some feel like the state s green rush might be coming to an end. Many in the marijuana industry refer to the explosion in marijuana retailers and pot-based outfits as the green rush. Those in the business say they have made their money by <a href=http://www.cicviseu.net/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Halima-Bootie>Tory Burch Halima Bootie</a> hard work, not just being in the right state at the right time. But some in the industry aren t certain the climate here is ripe for many more success stories.

I don t know if that s the case that you could have new people jump in and be very successful because that market s pretty saturated and it s got a lot of established operators, said Kayvan Khalatbari, a marijuana store on South Broadway in Denver.
But it certainly can be very profitable. 

CBS4 s Suzanne McCarroll interviews Kayvan Khalatbari. (credit: CBS) Khalatbari operates Denver Relief. He told CBS4 he started consuming cannabis as a teen, and that it helped him deal with anxiety in high school. Khalatbari also operates a cannabis magazine called Birdy, a standup comedy showcase called Sexpot Comedy which has marijuana-friendly shows and Sexy Pizza, a chain of pizzerias where part of the proceeds go to drug education.

I don t think I jumped in like a lot of people did, I eased in, he said.

The owners of a Highlands restaurant called Jezebel s are in the process of building on their existing <a href=http://architectscanterbury.co.uk/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Swim-Suit>True Religion Swim Suit</a> business with a marijuana-based operation. Jezebel s (credit: CBS) Chef Scott Durrah told CBS4 he s planning to add a cannabis cooking school to the family business that will teach students to infuse their food with marijuana.

This is a meal that the family can eat but also you make a side dish for yourself that s infused. It gives you the option, said Durrah, showing off one of his dishes students will learn how to make.
