When Colorado made recreational marijuana sales legal, they left it up to cities to decide on their own whether they wanted to allow pot stores. Aurora was one of the last places to permit such shops, but residents now say they are pleasantly surprised by their new neighbors, and they're reaping some unlikely benefits, reports CBS News correspondent Barry Petersen.
"All the money that we make from our sales revenue is going to stay in Aurora," Sweet Leaf owner Mathew Aiken said.
Aurora had been waiting to see how the experiment in recreational pot sales would pan out in nearby Denver. In October, Aurora City Council finally approved the initiative and now a city that had no pot shops will allow 24.
