How to Plan the Best Colorado Cannabis Vacation Ever

Monday March 30, 2015

It’s been over one year since Colorado’s Amendment 64 opened the door to recreational cannabis across the state and sales are still going strong at state licensed dispensaries, particularly in Denver. From gourmet edibles to therapeutic salves, the abundance of products to hit the recreational marijuana market can seem overwhelming to the uninitiated. Thankfully, a little bit of smart planning and some sage advice from the resident experts at Colorado Cannabis Tours can help you make the most of your time in the Mile High City.

Know Before You Go

If you only remember to pack one thing for your trip to Denver, make sure it’s a government issued photo ID. You’re going to need it. You must be twenty-one years of age to purchase any type of recreational cannabis product in Colorado, and people are definitely going to be checking. You don’t want the party to be over before it’s even started.

 While you’re at it, it’s not a bad idea to assess your currency situation. Your best bet is probably to bring some cash alongside your plastic: not every outlet has the ability to take credit or debit cards, so keeping some cash on hand will ensure you don’t miss out on any of those must-have items you’re bound to encounter during your marijuana retail experience.

Making Your First Purchase

 With your ID in hand, you’re free to start shopping around at any of the plentiful state licensed dispensaries in the Denver area, including Colorado Cannabis Tours mainstay, Medicine Man Dever. You’re allowed to possess up to one ounce of marijuana at a time, but be advised, non-residents can only purchase ¼ ounce in a single transaction. Practically, that means you can only purchase ¼ ounce per dispensary, per day. That includes things like edibles, which thankfully are carefully labeled to ensure there’s no confusion about the amount of cannabis they contain.

420 Friendly Retreats 

 Once you’ve made a purchase, be advised that sampling is strictly prohibited on the dispensary premises. That includes the parking lot. Yes, that also includes edibles. So where can you partake? A 420 friendly hotel, of course. Actually, any private residence where you’ve been given explicit permission by the owner is also acceptable. If you’re in need of such accommodations, Colorado Cannabis Tours can most definitely give you a hand in that department. Check out our selection of 420 Hotels  for a complete roster of fantastic accommodations with vaporizer-friendly rooms and private outdoor smoking areas, ranging from the budget friendly to the outright splurge-worthy.

Living the High Life

Whether you’re a seasoned cannabis connoisseur, just getting back into the game, or green as they come, our tour guides are prepared to answer any and all of your questions about safely appreciating recreational marijuana in Denver. If you’re unfamiliar with anything, don’t hesitate to ask any of experienced professionals for more information. When it comes to enjoying your purchases, we recommend settling into your 420 friendly accommodations and taking it easy. Keep the dosage and potency in mind, and adopt a low and slow attitude when it comes to smoking, vaping, or snacking. This is especially important when you’re dealing with edibles. If you feel like you’ve overindulged, chances are a long nap can remedy the situation. When it comes to recreational cannabis, there’s always tomorrow – at least while you’re in Denver.
