Tripp Keber, the CEO of Dixie Brands, Inc., among the biggest names in Colorado’s legal pot business, says there will soon be legal THC-infused luxury consumer packaged goods in 27 states.

And the big reason they will be so popular is because the culture war on smoking, funding by fines and taxes on cigarettes companies in the billions of dollars. has convinced the public that not inhaling cigarettes will prevent every kind of cancer - and therefore anything else goes.

Baby Boomers have health- and lifestyle-oriented self-identification so they don't want to smoke, but they want marijuana and by 2020 they will get it, he predicts.
