class=p1As soon as the stores were notified Monday, they began working to place their orders with some of the state's first licensed growers. As soon as the orders were received, via state approved software for tracking the bar-coded pot, the growers could place the product in a required 24-hour quarantine before shipping it early Tuesday morning. Pot prices were expected to reach $25 a gram or higher on the first day of sales, twice what people pay in the state's unregulated medical marijuana dispensaries. That was largely because of the short supply of legally produced pot in the state. Although more than 2,600 people applied to become licensed growers, fewer than 100 have been approved, and only about a dozen were ready to harvest by early this month. - The Denver Post amp;nbsp;
