I was doing some research about the marijuana laws of Denver, CO and I wanted to know if they were the same as everywhere else in CO? It was an interesting bit of reading, but it was also redundant.
No matter what law I looked at it, it stated that it is illegal to consume or possess marijuana at any park, recreational facility, or any city-owned property.
including streets and sidewalks. The big difference was that Denver specified that marijuana use is prohibited within 1,000 feet of a school and on the 16th Street Mall, including any city street or sidewalk one block in either direction from the mall. Denver International Airport also prohibits marijuana on its property. I also read that Denver ordinances only apply within the City and County of Denver. If I wanted any information on Boulder or other cities, I had to contact each city and county for its marijuana laws. I had to laugh. I was glad I was only researching Denver for this class. I was enjoying my law class about the legalization of marijuana, but I had a lot of questions. I would have thought that the laws pertaining to marijuana in Colorado would be uniform across the state, but that wasn’t the case. The state had one set of guidelines, and every city and county could change them as they saw fit. That was a lot of laws to keep up with. While doing the research, I made one major observance. When in law, you only look up the information that pertains to the case at hand.
