Bloomberg Businessweek looks at marijuana industry in Denver

Bloomberg Businessweek published a Q&A with Matt Brown of Denver-based My 420 Tours, a marijuana-centric tour company.

Excerpt:

Matt Brown and James Walker, two Denver-based entrepreneurs, recently launched the world’s first marijuana tourism company, My 420 Tours.

The first vacation package offered by My 420 Tours will happen during World Cannabis Week in late April; prices range from $499 for a three-day trip to $849 for a VIP five-day tip.
