the normal colorado state sales tax is 2.9%, but the plan in colorado now is the sales of pot in the state are not going to be taxed at 2.9%, they are going to be taxed at a 10% sales tax and on top of that 10% sales tax, they want to add, at least, a 15% excise tax on top of the sales tax. and on top of that, local cities and towns can decide if they want to add their own taxes on, as well. it's going to raise a lot of money. the first $40 million in revenue raised on pot in colorado is slated to pay for school construction. that was in the ballot measure that everybody voted for in november. beyond that, it's slated to pay for enforcing new pot regulations and for new educational efforts to let kids know that smoking pot makes you boring. presumably the educational effort from the state will be a little more broad than that, but maybe that is where they'll start. the idea of regulating and taxing marijuana the way we do for alcohol has been a hypothetical discussion for so long now that it's almost hard to believe that it is coming true, but it is coming true in colorado. with one

we've given away more water in the colorado than nature provides. it goes to the cities, agriculture, it goes to produce power. and the competition over that limited resource has grown for decades. and now shared among the seven states in the united states and mexico that have access to that river. >> john: many fear water will be the next oil. how concerned are you about privatization of our water supplies in the future? >> i do think one of the biggest challenges is managing the water. and do we manage it as a public resource? do we manage it as a private good? there is a lot of contention over that. in the united states, it has been a public good for a long time. we have excellent public agencies that manage our water resources but we have to get better at managing it and we have to realize that water is both a human right but it is also an economic good. we have to balance those challenges. the additional problem is that climate change is going to affect all of these issues. climate change is going to affect how much water we get where we get it

where's the money coming for the industry in colorado in its nascent state? >> well, quite frankly, i am not seeing any sort of big tobacco involvement. but if the folks at big tobacco would like to ditch cigarettes and start selling a product that wouldn't kill anyone, i think that would be a net positive. but, ultimately, the people getting into this are typical people that would invest in my business. one of the things that i look at this industry like in colorado is the like the restaurant industry. there's a lot of competition, there's a lot of stress involved, there's a lot of overhead, not everyone can cut it, but someone goes out of business, someone else buys them out. and some people are successful and they start a chain. i mean, it's really like any other industry. >> that's going to be interesting to see whether that competition is born out as this becomes reality. mason tvert, thank you. >>> for anyone who likes to compare the latest scandal de jure if watergate, a public service on your behalf is coming up next.

we've thought about this from the very beginning as outside groups coming to colorado and running colorado's gun laws but nothing could be further from the truth. you have to remember that colorado is ground zero for some of the worst gun tragedies that have occurred in our nation's history with columbine and again aurora. we also, unfortunately, in colorado have a history of doing very little about it. after the columbine shooting nothing was done. people had to go to the ballot in 2000 a year later to get gun show background checks into the law which at that point the republicans controlled everything and wouldn't put in. and then this time aurora happened last summer and obviously the newtown happened in december and so obviously we addressed it this session. this is what we get for that response. the reality is we've got to do a lot for gun safety in this country and from my perspective obviously it starts in colorado because i'm in colorado as well as we're ground zero for these horrific tragedies. >> do you think that the nra and the other gun groups are going to be able to get the sig
