Where can you legally smoke marijuana in Colorado?

Back in 2012, recreational marijuana was legalized in the state of Colorado. Since Colorado was one of the first states to legalize the product, many people assume that you can consume marijuana pretty much anywhere. However, there are many regulations for consumption. For example, although you purchase marijuana from licensed retailers, it is actually illegal to smoke at these stores. You also cannot smoke in public areas which include parks, movie theaters, sporting events, and public transportation. In addition, you can’t smoke marijuana while in a vehicle. Although you cannot smoke in a car, you are allowed to have weed in your vehicle. It just has to be in a sealed container just like with alcohol. You can only smoke in private areas such as your private residence and, sometimes, hotel rooms. Double-check with the hotel front desk on their rules for smoking since they vary between locations.

How much pot or marijuana can you buy in Colorado?

In the past, Colorado law has placed different regulations on residents and visitors when it comes to how much marijuana can be purchased. However, as of now, visitors are able to purchase the same amount of marijuana as a Colorado resident. A person 21 years old or older with a valid ID can buy up to 1 ounce of marijuana. An adult with an out-of-state ID can purchase up to 1 ounce as well, but only by one-quarter of an ounce at a time. Keep in mind that the one-ounce restriction only applies to flower marijuana. For concentrates (shatter, wax, etc.), 8 grams is equivalent to 1 ounce of flower. For edibles, 800 milligrams is equivalent to 1 ounce of flower.

How do I purchase marijuana in Colorado?

The process of purchasing weed or marijuana is pretty much the same as buying alcohol. You are required to present a valid government-issued ID to show that you are over the age of 21. Then, you can purchase marijuana up to the legal amount of 1 ounce or one-quarter of an ounce at a time with an out-of-state ID.

How much can I purchase from a marijuana retailer?

Both residents and people who are not residents of Colorado are limited to purchasing no more than 1 ounce of marijuana. However, in Colorado, adults who have an out-of-state ID can only purchase up to one-quarter of an ounce of weed at a time.

Can anyone buy weed or marijuana in Colorado?

The only limitation when it comes to buying weed is your age. Anyone who is 21 years old or over can purchase, possess, and consume marijuana in Colorado. The rule of being over the age of 21 applies to both residents of Colorado and visitors when it comes to possession, purchase, and consumption in the state.

How will I know if a product contains marijuana?

If a product contains marijuana, the packaging should display a specific symbol mandated by the Department of Revenue. The symbol is used to indicate that the product within the package contains retail marijuana, a product that includes retail marijuana, or retail marijuana concentrate. The use of the symbol was part of an initiative aimed at children. Educational programs were intended to teach children, who could not yet read, to recognize and to understand the meaning of the symbol, and then avoid the product. Additionally, the symbol was geared toward adults who were unable to read ingredient labels (i.e. non-English speaking individuals) to inform them of the presence of retail marijuana or its concentrates. This marijuana symbol is only applicable to retail marijuana. Currently, medical marijuana and medical marijuana products are not mandated to display this symbol on their packaging.

Can you smoke weed in public in Colorado?

Any adult 21 or older can buy, possess, and consume marijuana legally. Despite the legalization of weed in Colorado, there are still regulations when it comes to where you can smoke it. The main thing to remember is that you cannot smoke marijuana in any public space. This includes playgrounds, bars, vehicles, concerts, and occasionally, hotels. On the other hand, you are allowed to smoke weed in private areas like your home.

Is it legal to smoke marijuana in my hotel room in a state where recreational weed is legal?

If you are in a state that has legalized recreational marijuana (California, Illinois, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Michigan), you are allowed to possess personal amounts of weed in public. These amounts vary by state, with the lowest amount being half an ounce. When it comes to smoking recreational marijuana, laws state that it is legal to smoke on private property, but not in public areas. For the most part, hotels are public, but hotel rooms are private. Due to this nature, rules on smoking in hotel rooms vary by hotel. Contact the front desk to verify whether you are allowed to smoke.

Can I give or sell marijuana to someone under the age of 21?

No, it is illegal to give or sell retail marijuana to anyone under the age of 21. Only individuals 21 years old or older are allowed to purchase, possess, and consume recreational weed.

Are there limited hours of operation of retail marijuana businesses?

Yes, retail marijuana businesses are only allowed to be open between 8 AM and Midnight. These rules vary depending on your area so your municipality may have stricter hours of operation for marijuana businesses. Check with your local laws to clarify hours of operation.
