Burning Buds In Boulder – Touring Colorado’s Marijuana Laws

Colorado initially allowed adults to purchase a paltry seven grams of cannabis from legal dispensaries. However, as of 2016, anyone over 21 could buy one ounce of marijuana flower per day from a state-approved business. Besides cannabis buds, Colorado allows adults to purchase and possess eight grams of concentrate or 800 mg of edibles.

If you’re on the Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry, you could have as much as two ounces of cannabis flower at any time. Medical patients could also hire a caretaker to grow or buy their preferred strains.

Colorado allows residents to use cannabis products in a private residence far from public view. Like other “green states,” it’s illegal to smoke weed outdoors, in government-protected parks, or in a motor vehicle.

However, there are a few businesses that have legal “smoke rooms” throughout Colorado. Indeed, under 2019’s HB 1230, Colorado companies could apply to create a “cannabis lounge.” Be sure to look up dispensaries in your area to see if any offer this service.

Colorado now grants adults the right to cultivate cannabis indoors. Under the state’s guidelines, each adult could only grow six plants at a time. Only three of these plants should be in the flowering stage. Please ensure your grow room is far from public view.

If there are two adults in your home, you could grow up to 12 cannabis plants at any time. However, Colorado doesn’t allow any household to grow more than 12 cannabis plants without a grower’s license.

At first, Colorado only allowed cannabis delivery services for medical marijuana patients. However, as of 2021, adults throughout the state could order “dank delivery” from a state-approved dispensary.

Just keep in mind that this new rule does allow local municipalities to “opt-out.” Please double-check your city’s policy on Colorado’s marijuana delivery services.
