Colorado Marijuana Laws

Colorado law allows adults 21 and older to possess and use recreational marijuana, with a limit of one ounce (28 grams) at a time. It is legal to buy from licensed dispensaries, grow up to six plants per person (with a maximum of twelve per household), and share marijuana privately. Public consumption is prohibited, and driving under the influence is illegal. Marijuana use is also regulated to prevent minors from access. Local governments may impose additional restrictions, so rules can vary by area. Overall, Colorado maintains a regulated framework balancing individual freedoms with public safety.
