Legislative History
Colorado became one of the first U.S. states to legalize recreational cannabis in 2012 via Amendment 64, permitting adults 21+ to possess up to one ounce (28 grams), cultivate up to six plants (three mature), and purchase from licensed retailers. Medical cannabis was legalized earlier in 2000 through Amendment 20, establishing a patient registry system.
Law Enforcement
Alcohol offenses were thought to draw roughly ten times as much enforcement attention as pot. The old account described an ounce or less as a court date and US$100 fine, pipes being confiscated and a visible scale raising suspicion of sales. Colorado has since changed its adult-use rules, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
Where to Buy Marijuana
Introductions mattered. Many people bought at someone’s home, and a seller who wouldn’t weigh a bag in front of you lost trust fast.
