    Peyton Manning Implies Pizza Business Is 'Good' in Colorado Due to Legalization
    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...erral&utm_campaign=cnn-sports-bin&hpt=hp_bn15

    In a recent sit-down with Sports Illustrated's Peter King, Peyton Manning more or less admitted that Colorado’s decision to legalize marijuana has been a huge boon for his pizza stores.
    Weeks before the state passed a legalization amendment in 2012, the Broncos quarterback began snapping up Papa John’s franchises in the Denver area. The move prompted even the most casual observer to deduce that Peyton, a wily old fox, had bought the stores to capitalize on the impending munchies boom that would sweep the state.
    Answering a question concerning whether he votes for public officials (he does), Manning told King that he likes to educate himself on the people and issues of the day—namely, he like to stay informed on local politicians and the potentially profitable laws they pass.
    After all, as TMZ noted in 2013, the 21 Papa John’s stores owned by Manning raked in record sales in the post-legalization period, registering a 25 percent profit increase at one location.
    ******************************

    Pretty funny story I heard yesterday at while at work. But jokes aside, this is capitalism at its best and a good move by Manning to cash in on the food market benefits of legalizing marijuana. So is this an indication that there is a correlation to future states legalizing and a similar boom in the pizza and possible fast food/munchies industries?

    So whats the problem?

    It's no different than Waffle House benefiting from alcohol. I'm pretty sure the only people who eat at Waffle House are old people for breakfast and hammered people after the bar.

    Is Papa John's pizza any good?
    Or do I need a serious case of the munchies to enjoy it?

    These are the horrors that opponents of legalization warned us about. We should have listened.

    I personally think its the best of the large pizza chains. It just costs a bit more than the others.

    People have control over their own health - how horrible.

    I'll get the tar and feathers.

    Manning should take even greater advantage of this by making cannabis pizza. I do it all the time: decarb your cannabis in an oven, then sprinkle it on top. He could even pair strains to different pizzas: Supreme could have Black Widow, BBQ Meatlovers could have Afghani Kush, Peri Peri could have AK-47.

    He would make a literal fortune doing this. It would revolutionize commercial pizza.

    If the Republicans have a brain in their heads, they'd have a huge free pot and BBQ on election day. Free pot and snacks inside the fence of the fairgrounds from 8am to 12 noon, then it's BBQ time. Then free pot again from 4 to 8pm. The caveat is if you leave there is NO re-entry. Democrat voting will drop to nill.

    Great quarterback with a wonderful sense of humor. The pizza sucks though.

    Right. You got to be seriously high to enjoy a Papa John's pizza.

    And when a 5 year old sneaks a slice and ends up in the hospital? Who goes to jail?

    Really? I think it tastes great. But then again the only time I ever really order pizza is when I'm hammered and don't feel like cooking anything so that may have something to do with it....

    Well, in Italy we put vegetables and herbs on pizza, why not marijuana?
    A "Marijuana Pizza" ... it sounds great!

    Manning should have gone in with Papa Murphy's. The gourmet vegetarian pizza with the cream garlic sauce is outstanding......really outstanding

    [​IMG]

    Nothing wrong with him making profit here in Colorado and recreational marijuana, what is of concern is Manning choosing such a nasty pizza chain.

    SCREW Papa Murphy's! I'll never forget the day I was pretty drunk after the bar and asked the cab driver to stop by there so I could grab a pizza on the way home.

    I get home ready to enjoy my hot delicious pizza only to realize that the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing pizza wasn't cooked.

    Who the (*)(*)(*)(*) has a pizza store that doesn't actually cook the pizza!? What the (*)(*)(*)(*) is up with that? lol

    Move to Columbus Ohio, Waffle houses are more like outside of prison, prisons for felons.

    You will never see more gang related ink anywhere in Ohio.

    That is funny. :roflol: Damn, you must have been feeling real good because the pizza is clear wrapped with cooking instruction. I wont go into the stupid (*)(*)(*)(*) I have done buzzed and hungry especially stationed in Korea with the street vendors at 2am.

    Yeah everytime I tell people that story they look at me like Im crazy. It seems almost impossible to mistake a non cooked pizza for a cooked one. But like you said...I was feeling pretty good...lol

    Oh the younger days of binge drinking...Thankfully I have slowed down because Im getting older and my body is unable to do such things anymore. In my early 20s I could drink from sun up to sun down and wake up at 5am and go to work feeling fine. Nowadays if I manage to get a hangover I have a hangover that lasts for the good part of 3 days lol.
