I recently learned that La Paz, Bolivia is the highest capitol city in the world, having been built 11,975 feet above sea level. Tourists can opt in certain hotels in the city to be given oxygen masks to help them acclimate to the lack of oxygen.
However, although Denver, Colorado is located at only half the elevation of La Paz (5,280 feet), city officials hope that legalizing marijuana will allow them to eventually catch up.
"If the time should ever come when what is now called science, thus familiarized to men, shall be ready to put on, as it were, a form of flesh and blood, the Poet will lend his divine spirit to aid the transfiguration, and will welcome the Being thus produced, as a dear and genuine inmate of the household of man."
