At first glance, the One Brown Mouse Boutique looks like a typical hippie artisan shop. Its ceiling festooned with tie dye, stained glass tributes to Bob Marley and post Sgt. Pepper Beatles hanging in the window, racks of handmade jewelry, crocheted hats, and silk screen T-shirts for sale. Only the sweet stank of high grade marijuana permeating the room distinguishes the Brown Mouse of Nederland, Colorado from such patchouli infused boutiques across the country. Proprietress Kathleen Chippi's shop nearly fell victim to the recession's retail stagnation earlier this year, until she altered her business plan to become the small mountain community's first medicinal marijuana dispensary.nbsp;
