Pot Tourism In Colorado OK'd By Marijuana Task Force



DENVER -- Marijuana tourism is on the way to Colorado, under a recommendation made February 19, 2013 by a state task force to regulate the drug made legal by voters last year.

But Colorado should erect signs in airports and borders telling visitors they can't take pot home, the task force recommended.

Colorado's marijuana task force was assembled to suggest regulations for pot after voters chose to flout federal drug law and allow its use without a doctor's recommendation. Made up of lawmakers, law enforcement authorities and marijuana activists, the task force agreed on Februrary 19, 2013 that the constitutional amendment on marijuana simply says that adults over 21 can use the drug, not just Colorado residents. If lawmakers agree with the recommendation, tourists would be free to buy and smoke marijuana.

"Imposing a residency requirement would almost certainly create a black market for recreational marijuana in the state," said Rep. Dan Pabon, a Denver Democrat who sits on the task force.

Tourists could see purchasing caps though, possibly as low as an eighth of an ounce per transaction.

Afraid that marijuana tourism could open the door for traffickers to load up and take it across state borders for illegal sale, task force members agreed that non-residents should be able to buy only limited amounts, though a specific amount wasn't set.

"Marijuana purchased in Colorado must stay in Colorado," Pabon warned.

I never thought I would see the day The Tax created is going to be off the charts. Let us show you how its done. I am so curious as to how this will unfold. I say come, stay, sit down for awhile. Enjoy yourself and carry all that revenue to Schools, Roads, Open Space etc!!!!!

One of the many things I love about this place!

I was thinking about starting a discussion related to Amendment 64, but thought I would check to see if someone already had and of course somebody had.

I'm no thinking it will make much of a difference to TBF, at least not this year, as many have already noted, much work to be done before there will be a cannabis cart on the sidelines.

Grounds are private and I have often been told by the local gendarmes that as long as personal consumption is all you are about, you are OK with us.

Streets of Town, would undoubtedly be considered Public and I would not recommend sparking one up thinking otherwise.

Is it correct that legal sales will likely not be happening until next year and definitely not by festival time?

[completejohn]

Is it true that Planet Bluegrass just signed a sponsorship deal with Doritos and Oreos?

Actually, I think per Governor Hickenlooper, it was Cheetos and Goldfish!!!!

[Linds]

No recreational sales until next fall or winter, I think.  But yeah, I think the Cheetos and Goldfish peddlers will do really well this year. 

Not to mention the bacon peddlers.

A food booth would be outstanding!

I assume smoking is prohibited in the indoor venues (Palm, Sheridan, FMTTMS, Conference Center).. but does anyone know how diligently that's policed re: greenery?

[banfud]

Nothing will change  but  Cheetos, Doritos and ice cold PBRs would be sweet

Not sure which buildings you're referring to LS ... the one next to Village Market?   Regardless of which one(s), there are certainly some hoops one would have to jump through given Telluride's HARC (historical architectual review committee) rigid guidelines for abiding by the National Historic Distric crititeria ... which is above and beyond the LUC.   I believe Baked in Telluride was able to fast track their rise from the ashes by essentially building a replica of the old building.
