Wanna Buy Weed in Colorado? Here’s All You Need to Know.

Is Weed Legal in Colorado? Are the Weed Laws Different for Tourists?

Yes, and anyone can buy weed in Colorado, residents, and non-residents. However, you need to be over the age of 21 to purchase or have a medical weed card from a licensed doctor.

Legally stores are allowed to be open between 8 am, and 12 am daily. Denver closes their stores at 7 pm though. You may need to travel to a city bordering Denver if you arrive after 7 pm.

What types of weed will the stores sell?

You will see several different flower strains categorized by their pressures ranging from potent Indicas to strong Sativas and everything in between. Each strain can have different effects, so be sure to ask the budtender for assistance in choosing the best marijuana for you. Muscular Sativas aches are known for their general uplifting, energizing, and head-high effects, while Indicas are known for their full-body highs and sedative effects.
Recreational marijuana stores will also sell several other types of marijuana products, including but not limited to:

• Warning: these can be very potent!
• Edibles: Cannabis-infused foods, candies, or drinks. Warning: These can be very potent! Be sure to check the serving size before enjoying and remember the effects can take up to an hour to hit you.
• These products are not psychoactive and will not get you high.
• Seeds: seeds that can be used to grow your marijuana plants. Stores will have many different strains of Indicas and Sativas.
• Clones: healthy seedlings that are ready to be grown.

How much will it cost?

Legal marijuana in the state of Colorado is going to be very competitively priced. Denver has a sales tax of 21.12%, and you can find grass for around $15-$25/gram before taxes. Buying the maximum amount (7g for non-residents) at each store will lower the price per gram significantly. Top-shelf cannabis will be more expensive, but not significantly different. If you want to get the best bang for your buck, buy mid-grade and maybe one or two grams of a top-shelf, favorite strain to save for a special occasion.

Where can I buy pot?

How Much Weed can I buy?

Out of state, visitors may only purchase 7 grams of marijuana per transaction, and possess up to one ounce. In-state residents may buy and possess a maximum of one ounce at a time.

Can I take marijuana home if I live in another state or country?

No. All marijuana and marijuana products purchased in Colorado must be consumed in Colorado.

Where can I consume my recent purchase?

Legally, you can only consume in private, or you risk a civil penalty of $75-$150. However, at many public events in Colorado, you will see citizens openly consuming in public as a form of civil disobedience. This happens all the time in Denver, especially during the 4/20 celebrations. We do not recommend breaking the law, but just walking around in downtown Denver you will most likely see someone violating the public consumption law.

What is a dab?

Dabs are often compared to the hard liquor of the cannabis world and can be found in many forms. Bits are the essential oils and waxes of the cannabis plant that are extracted and concentrated into a potent wax form. They are known for their high concentration of THC. Smoking a dab is much stronger than burning flowers. If you are not a regular cannabis consumer with a high tolerance, we recommend using extreme caution.

If you’re considering purchasing or doing a dab, it is also essential to know what is in the essential oil being offered or sold and if it is safe. Many extracts may not have been purged correctly and may contain residual amounts of butane or other solvents. CO2 oil is often noted as the most reliable oil because critical extraction machines that use CO2 Slactavis Syrup as the only solvent extract it.

Will use a topical get me stoned?

No, topicals do not have a psychoactive effect. They use for localized relief of inflammation, pain, or soreness. Do not confuse topicals with transdermal patches though.
