So, Colorado DUers, when can I drive from Kansas City and try Pot for the first time?

[Logical]

Is there any date for actually allowing stores to sell pot to anyone?

Never tried pot but looking forward to it once legal. There is a group of 4 of us, in our 40s and 50s, that are making a road trip!!

1. There was a story about the progress, or lack of it, on the local news tonight.

Let's just say the Regulators are falling behind the Entrepreneurs. I'm putting the over/under at Labor Day.

2. Thanks! Really amazing it happened at all. I said last year it would never happen. I was wrong! n-t

4. At this point, acquisition is a little sketchy unless you have an MMJ card.

But possession is a-okay. I don't want to turn the thread, as it were, but there is a real analogy to straw purchases and the transfer of weapons in private hands, temporarily. Once it gets out the door of the dispensary...

5. So, can someone give someone pot as a gift legally? n-t

[bluedigger]

7. Yup.

I expect there is some amount limit - I know you can only have six plants, but as long as you don't get caught on Federal property by the Feds, local and State LEO's don't care. You can't smoke in public, operate a vehicle under the influence, but that is one of the things the Regulators haven't figured out yet, so I have no idea how they enforce it. The DA's aren't prosecuting for possesion, and all the Sheriff logs I've seen in the local paper lately have concentrated on meth, and don't even mention pot unless the busted person refers to it during the stop.

Here's a story in the local paper on the process as it stands. The devil is in the details. http://www.cortezjournal.com/article/20130325/NEWS01/130329873/How-to-regulate-pot?--

3. Why would you choose to break your long history ? ... Most of us who wanted to try it already did ..

... cause it's already out there and available ....

When it was advertised that many non-users would flock to smoke something they could always easily get, well, I didn't buy it .... Didn't make sense ...

I guess I was wrong .... mea culpa ...

[Logical]

6. Well, maybe sounds stupid, but I want to do it legally. Same with my wife and our couple friends....

Just feel better knowing I cannot be arrested.

Weird I know.

9. possibly the first of the year

at least according to the denver post

the lege has until may 8 to get a bill passed, but the feds are going to be around soon enough to muck up the whole thing.

still, it's legal to possess and grow for personal use, so if you have a friend, you are solid.

10. ease into it the pot of today is not the pot of the 60s

if you chose to not smoke the pot o wana there are things you can eat ,put in tea etc....but these will render you stoned for a lot longer than smoking....enjoy its so much more pleasurable when its legal.
