About Estes Park, Colorado Ma*****na Friendly Hotels & Vacation Rentals
~ This Page Is A Place For Estes Park, Colorado Cannabis Friendly Hotel & Vacation Rental Property Owners Who Allow Guests To Enjoy Recreational Ma*****na On Premise To Promote Their Properties. With the passing of Amendment 64, adult Colorado residents, 21 years old or older can legally possess up to one ounce (28 grams) of
recreational ma*****na. Non-Resident out of State visitors can now legally purchase up to ¼ ounce ( 7 grams) in a single transaction from any State Licensed Ma*****na Store and there isn't any type of registration system. There is nothing illegal about visiting more than 1 store a day, as long as you don't exceed the 1 ounce per person possession limit. Simply put, as long as you are 21 years or older, you have a constitutional right in Colorado to possess and consume ma*****na in the privacy of your own home or Cannabis Friendly Hotel / Vacation Rental. You will need a government-issued identification State or Country Of Origin to prove you are 21 years or older, a drivers license or a passport should be sufficient. This is great news, as in addition to buds (flowers), you can also enjoy many types of concentrated and edible forms of ma*****na also allowed by State Law during your visit. LEGAL MA*****NA CONSUMPTION
Amendment 64 does NOT permit the consumption of ma*****na "openly and publicly." So before you start blazing those blunts while walking down the street, remember you can still get a ticket for doing so, similar to open container laws for drinking in public. Driving under the Influence
A new DUI law is in effect in Colorado which sets a legal limit for the amount of active THC in your system while driving. This law was fiercely debated, the main issue being that people metabolize THC at different rates, and the amount of impairment varies drastically for each person. Unlike alcohol, where if you are over 0.08 you are impaired, it's hard to determine if a person is impaired or not based upon THC levels. The reality is it passed, so keep this in mind during your visit. Be smart and don't drive under the influence. The reality is if your car doesn't smell like you ran over a pack of skunks, and your eyes aren't all bloodshot, it is unlikely you will be singled out. If the police do suspect you are driving stoned, they can require you take a blood test. Refusal to do so can result in similar penalties as refusing a breathalyzer test, such as loss of license. The possibility of being involved in a serious car accident, even through no fault of your own, always exists, so best to use public transportation, taxie cabs or simply sleep off your high. The law does allow for a defendant charged with driving under the influence of ma*****na to introduce evidence that pot did not impair their ability to drive. This is a last ditch strategy, the best advice is to drive sober (PERIOD). There is also an issue with defining what an "open container" of ma*****na constitutes in a motor vehicle ~ BOTTOM LINE ~ DO NOT SMOKE & DRIVE
Cannabis Law On Federal Land and Properties in Colorado
DO NOT bring your cannabis onto Federal lands in Colorado. Please be aware that your right to possess ma*****na in Colorado does not apply when you are visiting national parks, national forests or monuments, or other federal properties such as courthouses. Also be aware that many ski areas are located on federal land (mainly just the actual ski runs, not the towns or base of the mountain). A recent review of federal court data by the AP showed that in 2013 through July, at least 135 people were cited for ma*****na possession on federal land in Colorado. Possession of ma*****na on federal land is punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine of $1,000 on the first offense, along with a 15-day mandatory sentence that can be extended to two years in prison for a second offense. After that, perpetrators can receive a 90-day to three-year prison term, and a $5,000 fine. LEAVE IT IN THE AMNESTY BOX AT THE AIRPORT
Exporting Ma*****na
Simply put, don't do it. The Feds are watching Colorado closely, and although it is tempting to bring some of our finest product back to your home state, doing so has the potential to give the DEA and Feds reason to crack down. In the states bordering Colorado, the police are extremely pi**ed off that we have such relaxed ma*****na laws, and they are profiling people and performing questionable (and often illegal) searches of vehicles. Mailing stuff home is a bad idea also. Postal Service inspectors seized 158 packages of ma*****na being sent from Colorado through the mail in 2012. By May 2013, in a five month period, 209 packages of ma*****na were seized. Be smart as the postal inspectors are setting up shop and keeping a close eye on packages being sent outbound from Colorado. Ma*****na tourism is becoming a major industry in Colorado. It can be expected that many hotels and lodging companies will begin to accommodate their ma*****na tourist guests. Since it is early in the game, many lodging providers are still defining their policies & as we learn more we will update this page. Can I smoke ma*****na in my hotel room or at my vacation rental? Colorado law allows hotels and private rental properties to decide themselves whether to allow guests to consume ma*****na on premises. We’re seeing some chain hotels and resorts ban it outright, while others will accommodate guests smoking in their rooms or an outside area, such as a room balcony. Many of the hotels in Colorado are smoke-free now, and they apply this rule to any type of smoking, not just to***co. Rest Assured That To The Best Of Our Ability, All Properties Promoted On This Page Are Legal Cannabis Friendly & Will Allow You To Smoke Or Eat Legally Purchased Colorado Cannabis To Your Hearts Content ;)
