DENVER (AP) — Marijuana tourism is on the way to Colorado, under a
recommendation made Tuesday by a state task force to regulate the drug
made legal by voters last year.
But Colorado should erect signs in airports and borders telling visitors they can't take pot home, the task force recommended.
Colorado's
marijuana task force was assembled to suggest regulations for pot after
voters chose to flout federal drug law and allow its use without a
doctor's recommendation. Made up of lawmakers, law enforcement
authorities and marijuana activists, the task force agreed Tuesday that
the constitutional amendment on marijuana simply says that adults over
21 can use the drug, not just Colorado residents. If lawmakers agree
with the recommendation, tourists would be free to buy and smoke
marijuana.
"Imposing a residency requirement would almost
certainly create a black market for recreational marijuana in the
state," said Rep. Dan Pabon, a Denver Democrat who sits on the task
force.
Tourists could see purchasing caps though, possibly as low as an eighth of an ounce per transaction.
