<Breakdown of Colorado Legalization>
1) you are not allowed to smoke in public view.
2) any adult over 21 is allowed to buy, give away or sell to anyone over 21 or posses. This includes non Colorado residents.
3) from election day, the governor has 30 days to sign off on it. He has already said in a statement this will happen soon. Until then it is still illegal.
4) The tax revenue needs to be reworked into acceptable language but will not delay the legalization portion of the law. Ie you won't have to wait for the legislature to define the tax law to posses.
5)you can only buy an ounce at a time, have 6 plants with only 3 being mature at once. This does not apply to licensed distributors.
6) counties may ban dispensaries but cannot prosecute for possession.
7) driving, working and other such activities must still be done sober. You can get fired for using pot.
8) the state may not impose any regulation that makes selling too complicated. This is open ended but allows the sellers a chance to challenge any loopholes the government might use to counter act the voters' will.
9) medical dispensaries can choose to remain as such and can still require a prescription.
10) although not supported by the governor, state attorney's office and other Colorado state agencies, they have all pledged to uphold the amendment.
