#Marijuana Laws in Colorado.

Possession

If you are an adult 21 years of age or older, you can now legally possess one ounce of marijuana in Colorado. The way the amendment is worded actually allows for possession of one ounce of THC. This is great news, as in addition to buds (flowers), you can also enjoy many types of concentrated and edible forms of marijuana during your visit. Cannabis seeds are also available for sale in Colorado.

You don't need to be a resident, and there isn't any type of registration system. Simply put, as long as you are 21 years or older, you have a constitutional right in Colorado to possess and consume marijuana. You will need a government-issued identification to prove you are 21 years or older. a drivers license or passport should be sufficient. You can learn more about your privacy when visiting a recreational marijuana store in our blog.

Purchasing Limits

Although any adult is allowed to possess up to 1 ounce, non-residents of Colorado will be restricted to purchasing no more than ¼ ounce (7 grams) in a single transaction. This law was created to prevent visitors from going from one retail store to another and stockpiling marijunana for export. Obviously this law has some grey areas, such as what is a ‘single transaction’. Most recreational stores are erring on the side of caution and will only serve you once a day. Please remember these restrictions only apply to retail sales, not possession. Residents and out-of-state visitors are both allowed to possess an ounce. There is nothing illegal about visiting more than 1 store a day, as long as you don't exceed the 1 ounce per person possession limit.
