COLORADO: Marijuana possession in Breckenridge no longer criminal – smoke and ski bundle coming soon?
It's a happy New Year indeed for pot smokers in Breckenridge. Possession of the drug is no longer a city crime in the mountain resort town.
A law taking effect Friday removes criminal penalties for adults over 21 who possess small amounts of marijuana or smoking paraphernalia.
The change is mostly symbolic, though, because pot possession remains a state crime except for patients with medical clearance to have the drug.
Selling marijuana is still a felony. Use of marijuana at the Breckenridge ski area is still illegal under the Colorado Ski Safety Act.
