Recreational Weed – Tips and Laws

Well first off finding cannabis in Colorado is easy, but you have to be 21 or older with a valid ID to buy and consume cannabis products.

Now because recreational cannabis is legal, this doesn’t give you an excuse to be an inconsiderate stoner. So lets go over a few no, nos in Colorado so you can have a good time. Most are common sense.

Don’t light up right outside the place that you bought your cannabis. As of this article posting it is illegal to light up on the property of a weed dispensary.

But don’t disparage, because of a new law made recently, soon cites will be able to decide if they will allow public consumption places in their towns.



Some of these places will include a “try before you buy bar” for dispensary shoppers. Other places will be able to let patrons smoke and vape cannabis on the patios.

But the law of the land is this. Smoking in public, any parks, any place remote in the mountains and any public areas is illegal in the state. This includes cooking with marijuana also. You have to be on private land that allows cannabis consumption on it, to be completely safe.

Now if you like to vape some choice cannabis oil like me and you decide to pick up some oil, then blowing clouds in a crowded area can get you a fine. Remember public consumption of any cannabis products is illegal. So keep the vaping for patois of your hotel or a more private space.

If you are going to head up into the mountains then be very mindful of how you smoke. The Colorado wilderness is dry a lot of the time so a loose ember could be disastrous.

Lodging – If you’re slightly paranoid or would prefer total peace of mind free from distractions while you enjoying. Then head to one of the many 420-friendly hotels that have started springing up all across Colorado. There are lots of legal places to use cannabis ranging from quaint bed and breakfasts to upmarket, ultra-modern 420-friendly condos.
