I spent one year monitoring drug busts, deciding where to go to escape Texas. Denver P.D. and much of CO has the highest rate of heroin/meth busts. The cartels will continue to try and saturate CO, but I will bet every dime I have, they will not devour CO the way they have TX, AZ and CA. CO won't have it. You made an excellent choice. CO isn't just beautiful, most of it's residents are educated/smart and it's classy, fully intent on staying that way.
