BRIEF: Nebraska, Oklahoma in border war with Colorado over marijuana

Feb. 07--REPORTING FROM PUEBLO WEST, Colo. -- On the front door of the 20,000-square-foot marijuana dispensary here is a laminated sign warning every customer: "It is illegal to sell or transport marijuana to another state."

"And you can guarantee people read it," said Rick Hooper, general manager of the Spot 420 in this barren part of southern Colorado. "We make it very, very clear that this is the law here."

A border war has broken out between Colorado, where recreational pot is legal, and its neighbors, Nebraska and Oklahoma, where it is not.
