Smokebird
Tourists who travel from out of state to buy legal recreational marijuana. While it's illegal at the federal level, in Colorado it's legal to sell marijuana for recreational use after January 1, 2014. So far the Feds haven't interfered with the sales.
The term is from "snowbirds", which is the name for retirees who live in Recreational Vehicles full time and travel north in the summer and south in the winter to always stay in pleasant weather.

Medical marijuana use to be $25 an eighth of an ounce, and then those damn smokebirds flew in and bought out everything in sight for $70 an eight! Now they're out until someone grows some more.
