The Mile High Medical Marijuana Hauler

I was writing a letter to some pen pals in Iowa when I stumbled on the whole medical marijuana debate and by stumble I mean I complained about how pot and beer are the only two topics covered at any partly I've been to lately. Scratch that Beer, pot and the merits of Dubstep (a newer form of electronic music or so I've heard). While a bunch of Colorado State students were arguing which music festival was the one worth attending based on the availability of the "Primo weed" I got to thinking: What would your dad drive if he was in the medicinal pot business?

Here are three of my selections:

The Subaru Station Wagon (in green of course):
If you live in or around Boulder, CO you see them everywhere. The pleasant, unassuming, all wheel drive Subaru Legacy wagon. Now if you're trying to grow your green and sell it for some green the weather here in Colorado might not be the best. The Subies all wheel drive, low center of gravity and ample storage makes ideal for hauling any essential Colorado gear from guitar amps and snowboards to "glass" and grow lights.

The Ford Transit Connect:
Ok, lets say you want to add a little more legitimacy to your all natural medicine business and the rusty old subie isn't quite cutting it. This is where the Ford Transit Connect comes in. With 135 sq. ft. of storage and a 1600lb. (thats a lot of cheeba) the Transit connect has plenty of space to meet the demand of even the largest Phish concert. Not to mention those huge white panels are just waiting for your cousin Twitch to stencil on a wicked Grateful Dead tribute.

The Van:
You knew it was coming. Nothing beats the overall versatility of the good old fashioned panel van. Whether Ford, Chevy, or Dodge(picture above) vans have it all, robust construction, room enough to haul anything in (or live in if your dispensary goes bust, or gets busted) not to mention the wonderful mobile privacy where you and your fellow patients can hot box away your ailments in a plush space, drowning in 8-track heaven.
