Hello, annoying future tourist here we will be traveling to Denver beginning of December and since we are from New Orleans the concept of legal weed is still crazy to us. Will we be able to buy some from a dispensary then just smoke it/eat it in the streets ? Are there certain places you can smoke it? Lol...also are there any restaurants with thc infused food or is that even legal? I’m making our travel plans and we are pretty heavy smokers . Any travel tips and tricks?? Cheers!
There are dedicated dispensaries for Medical and recreational make sure to go to the right one some are both Must be consumed privately it’s like alcohol you can’t walk around drinking a beer openly you can’t walk around smokin openly do some research on all the laws use weedmaps app to look at dispensaries around in the Denver area their a dime a dozen Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't live in Denver but did a ton of research as my friends and I are planning a trip to Denver and Toronto in November. Weed in Denver is easy to access with valid ID but not so easy to use. You cant smoke on the streets, parks, hotels, etc. Some hotels are "vape friendly" and of course edibles are harmless. Do your research beforehand. Looks like there are some underground lounges and bars that allow smoking with memberships that Denver residents can probably tell us more about. TBH, that's nothing different than underground sesh parties that you can find elsewhere. Probably the best tip that I can offer is to try to get a "weed friendly" AirBNB that allow smoking. As for Toronto (Ontario Province), starting October 17th, you will be able to smoke wherever tobacco is allowed including streets, parks, etc. This is the only place in North America with this freedom although there are reports that certain towns may oppose and block this. If you are going on a weed vacation where you can smoke virtually anywhere, Toronto would be the place to go.
I live a couple of hours south of Denver but can answer your questions. As long as you are 21 and have a valid id then you can purchase cannabis from a retail dispensary. You are limited to 1oz of total products per purchase, If you buy an oz of flower, they will not be able to sell you edibles or other cannabis products in the same purchase. There are a couple of ways around this such as having two people, leaving and coming back, and just purchasing from multiple dispensaries. The possession limit for non-medical cannabis users is 1oz. Smoking cannabis is not legal in any public areas. Edibles and vape pens can work well for these scenarios. There are some hotels that will let you vape and a few that will let you smoke. Google can help you find those places. When traveling with cannabis keep it in a separate area such as your trunk, locked glove box, or so forth. If it is reachable by the driver then it can be viewed the same as an open container violation. As far as dispensaries in that area, live well and River Rock have good reputations. Use leafly or weedmaps if you are looking for the best bargains. As long as you use common sense you will likely be just fine.
Flower and concentrates... I didn't care for the edibles when i was out there in 2014. Too regulated for potency IMO. ...but that was 4 years ago. Grab some goodies and go up into the mountains and find rest area/camp area to chill at with a good view.
On the recreational side edibles are limited to 100 mg each. Quality, effect, and potency seem to vary largely by brand. I prefer stratos tablets over all of the candy type edibles, but peanut buddha bars taste pretty damn good.
Thanks for insight. I’ll deff be doing a lot of research. And I didn’t even think about that. I forget places other than NEw Orleans it’s illegal to drink in public ! So I guess we won’t be drinking in public either haha
Thanks for all yalls information. You guys deff brought up points I hadn’t even considered. I’m so used to drinking in public, and drive through daiquiri places I didn’t even think of having to find a place to consume ♀️ I would mostly be wanting to try edibles as I can smoked as much weed as I want here in my living room. We are going to winter park and then stopping at st marys glacier, would we be able to smoke hiking? Are there police on the trails? Lol sorry for the ramble but as you can tell I feel like I’m traveling to some magical land I know nothing about.
You should edit that last part out the discussion might get pulled Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
As far as hiking just don’t be dumb colorado is not a place where everyone is always blazing up there’s a time and place for it ......if no one knows does it matter? Just be respectful because there could be kids with parents on the trails I thought it was magical too till i moved here it’s magical but in other ways other than buying legal weed and being able to consume legally Idk about Denver but in the springs they give you a leaflet of the laws and do’s and don’ts with every purchase Thing about edibles for me at least being a heavy smoker i eat 200mg at a time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ohh cause I talked about trafficking? Lmao ok I’ll edit it. And of course, ima feel like I need to hide just having the weed stuff with me haha and I deff don’t want to disrespect the other tourist/natives! I smoke about 3-4 full bowls a day. How much edibles do you think I’d need?
My last question is are there any dangerous parts of Denver? Any local tips/tricks? For example if you come to Nola and your walking in the city DONT stop when someone offers to shine your shoes for free and don’t go to bourbon at night. Etc.. any last helpful hints you guys could offer me for our travels? Thanks again y’all!!! Cheers <3
Stay away from the Capital Hill area and cheismen park. I ate a 1000mg brownie and it wrecked me. I was crawling on the ground and when I passed out it was for 12hrs and I woke up high. You probably won't feel anything from just 1ebible that's 100mgs. If ur a heavy smoker you will probably need 400 to 500mgs. Hash is the real Treat. We have KILLER wax and shatter that's VERY POTENT. Also don't believe the lable when you buy weed products. Buy a gram of weed and the lable will say something like 35% thc 40% CBD. That's 100% B.S. There are 3 different companies that test marijuana and if u gave the same bud to all 3 companies you would get back 3 sets of completely different numbers. If the science was real the numbers would all be the same. The apperance of control and regulation is more important than real science to the State. You can't smoke in public view. A cheap tent fixes that problem.
