From a person that has been living in the Netherlands for a while now:
people will get used to it and it will settle down.
The legalization here has made people smoke less weed. It's mostly tourists that buy it because it's illegal to buy where they live.
Taking weed out of the criminal circuit has made it easier for the government to monitor drug use and drug trafficking.
Laws were passed here that they can't sell near schools, and you have to show ID and proof that you live in the Netherlands.
I'm guessing Colorado will experience much of the same: locals will get over the hype and won't smoke more than they did before, because it was easy to get anyway. And it will mostly be people from other states buying in a while.
