Colorado tourists who want to smoke the pot they’ve legally purchased are running into a problem: where to light up. There’s no smoking in the stores—or on the street, or in parks, or in most hotels, reports Colorado Public Radio.Many tourists have turned to eating their marijuana; five million pot edibles were consumed in Colorado last year.
But that doesn’t solve the problem for tourists who want to smoke it. The Denver Police Department handed out over a thousand citations last year for smoking in public.
The Marijuana Policy Project is attempting to introduce a ballot measure to allow pot smoking in some bars and restaurants. And the city is working on crafting a pot club ordinance, though details are, well, hazy. In the meantime, tourists who want to smoke have little recourse but to break the law.
