My buddies and I are very open about smoking anywhere in public, around people, etc. (I try not to linger around people as to be somewhat respectful) What are the consequences if caught smoking in public in CO?
Denver cops don't care about anything below manslaughter. Everywhere else you will get swat called on you for sparking a lighter.
Unless your black
Straight to jail
Forever actually.
Believe it or not
$100 fine, potentially 15 days in jail. Just don’t be a dick and you’ll be fine
Believe it or not…jail.
King polis smites you back to Texas
This one made me laugh pretty hard
Considering the copious amount of people openly smoking hard drugs out of tin foil with impunity I doubt this would attract attention.
$100 fine, potentially 15 days in jail. Just don’t be a dick and you’ll be fine
Bro downtown is straight foily city. Cops don’t blink an eye when they see people smoking fent and crystal and freaking out. As long as you don’t start battling shadow people you’ll be fine haha
That’s what I said, but I also stated the punishment for being a dick
Ive lived all over the Denver area and have never had an issue with smoking in public. I usually try to keep it off the sidewalk or stick to alleys so Im not directly in peoples face with it
I just risk it in the Springs and no one cares, I will regularly smoke joints right outside the bar.
Depends on the cop. Don’t smoke in your car or near a gathering of children and you should be fine. I smoke joints pretty much everywhere I go, and I do so casually like one would with a cigarette but mine just smell better lol.
Plus I do love walking into stores just completely stinking up the place and everyone looks at you thinking 1 of 2 things
Thought 1: damn this guy smells like skunks eww! Thought 2: that fool smells like Christmas…. let’s go say what’s up!
It’s not even a punishment! It’s fun! It’s called re-education. No, I’m being told that sounds too scary. It’s called Elitch Gardens, and it’s a hard labor camp where we brainwash you
I was actually just smoking weed at Elitchs and they made me stand for hours while carrying a souvenir cup for no pay. Only now do I realize it was a punishment
I bet the fascists made YOU pay THEM
How’d you know?!?!
Fed
… to WOLVES!!
Anyone know what the situations like in Fort Collins these days? Moved here not too long ago, still kinda nervous
Welcome! FoCo is chill if you find a spot away from people. Better yet just vape and then pretty much nobody gives a shit where you do it
Hey, it's great that you're mindful of being respectful! In Colorado, smoking in public spaces, like sidewalks or parks, is generally prohibited. Consequences for getting caught can vary, but you could face fines or citations. It's best to enjoy your smoke in designated areas to avoid any unexpected run-ins with the law.
probably a verbal warning or a ticket,even before legalization the cops never cared about some weed
I lit up right next to an officer ticketing a car. Wasn’t paying attention and didn’t know the law. He didn’t say anything as I walked off. My wife and I walked everywhere smoking pre rolls along the way. Mainly stayed around the baseball park and the adjacent areas. Had no clue you couldn’t smoke in public. Won’t do it again just out of respect.
It is all around a bad idea. You can sometimes get away with a vape that's more incognito... but it is kinda like drinking. If you'd get in trouble for being drunk or drinking where you are, you'd also get in trouble for smoking. The safe way to smoke is at home, at a friend's house, or in a place designated for smoking (some events or venues allow it). Stay safe
Does anyone get in trouble in Denver? When I drive around at night I regularly see people who seem inebriated behind the wheel. I respect your sensibility but I think smoking in public is wide open in Denver.

I’ve walked around downtown Denver smoking a joint (on the quieter residential streets/alleyways) and haven’t had any issues. Or I’ll just sit on the little brick wall right outside my building. I’ve seen plenty of people doing it as well, just stay out of peoples way’s and don’t be an ass :)
