Do you think you have spotted an outsider roaming the streets of Colorado, but just can’t tell for sure? No need to look for an identification, certain markings, or ask for a blood sample; just go through this checklist of 14 things that may determine whether or not someone is a tourist:
- A tourist typically assumes that everyone in the state is a stoner…
