  • Recreational and medical marijuana can only be purchased from a dispensary licensed by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division. Depending on the city in which you intend to purchase, type of marijuana you can purchase might be limited. For example, the city of Colorado Springs only allows the sale of medical marijuana, so if you do not have a medical card, you will have to travel to a nearby location such as Manitou Springs, Pueblo or Denver to purchase recreational marijuana.
    Some dispensaries, depending on the location, will sell both medical and recreational marijuana, while others may sell one or the other. Be sure to check the hours for the dispensary you plan to visit. The state of Colorado authorizes dispensaries to be open from 8am to midnight, however, some municipalities limit these open hours even more.

  • The short answer is no. You’re only allowed to use marijuana while in the comfort of your private residence, if you own the property. If you are in a rental property or staying in a hotel during a visit, you need to check with the landlord or staff to see if they allow the use of marijuana on their premises.

It is important to note that marijuana consumption reacts differently with each individual based on how it metabolizes in their body. New users should give the body several hours to process the THC before deciding to drive. To be safe, ask a friend for a ride home or call an Uber to get you to your desired location.

  • If you own a private residence, you may grow your own marijuana plants. As a Colorado resident, you’re able to grow up to 6 plants total. Only 3 out of six plants can be in the flowering stage of growth. Also, be sure to check your local municipality laws to see if they enforce stricter laws for that area.
    If you decide to grow your own plants, keep them in an enclosed, locked area so that minors cannot access the plants. It is illegal to sell any flower produced from homegrown plants for profit.
