Marijuana tourism regulations up for discussion in Colorado legislative committee
DENVER - A legislative panel tasked with regulating marijuana in Colorado will be discussing the topic of marijuana tourism Friday.
The constitutional amendment approved by voters last year allows marijuana use by adults over 21. It doesn't specify whether only Colorado residents can use the drug, prompting speculation about marijuana tourism.
A Colorado task force made up of law enforcement, government officials and marijuana advocates recommended that the state legislature not step in. The task force said out-of-state visitors should be able to buy marijuana as long as they don't take it home. However, many state lawmakers are appalled at the idea of pot tourism.
The task force's regulatory framework working group made the recommendation in February based on two primary reasons.
