Cannabis Laws in Colorado

Is weed legal in Colorado? Yes — recreational and medical cannabis are both legal here for adults 21+.

Colorado adults 21+ may possess up to 2 oz of cannabis. Retail purchases have a separate limit of 1 oz of flower or its equivalent per business day. Home cultivation generally allows 6 plants per adult, no more than 3 flowering, with a 12-plant residential limit and applicable local restrictions.

Federally, cannabis is still a controlled substance nationwide — but that status is in flux. See where rescheduling stands →
