1990s look like the biggest spike in Colorado population growth.
Colorado's population has grown significantly from roughly 2.2 million in 1970 to over 6 million by mid-2025. Driven by high net migration, the state more than doubled in size over these five decades, with rapid growth in the 1990s and 2010s. Growth recently slowed to its lowest rate since the 1980s, driven by natural increase rather than migration.

Let's get down to the real takeaway: all the folks in Montana and Idaho better start preparing for things to get real whacky in the next 10-20 years. The soil is fertile for the CBD whackos to step over Colorado's bloody twitching corpse towards its next victims.

Definitely a factor.
The whacky has already started here.

So far you've seen the feather on the head of the seagull atop the tip of the iceberg. Exponential growth and change from too many people. Watch perspectives and politics change in response to population density and giant increases in $ available to bend politics to it's own vision.

Too late. The Bitterroot is now a 50 mile stretch of pot shops.
Zero in Idaho, legally.

And that's why Ontario tops the list of weed sales in Oregon.
I’ve heard of the Ontario and Pullman runs and police pulling over suspected vehicles.

Sure. But it's definitely not the metropolis of Ontario that keeps their dispensary revenues higher than some places in the Willamette Valley. That's Ada county.

And John Denver was the gateway to all this.
