Colorado is known globally as a playground for those who revel in the beauty of the outdoors. We have the best skiing, beer, wildlife and for some time now: legal marijuana. Tourists from across the country are flocking to our neck of the woods to experience the newly legal, always evolving, cannabis industry. Whether you’re a Colorado native or just visiting, some of the most important questions that you need answered are how, who, and where can all of these wonderful products be consumed safely and legally.
First things first. How much weed can I buy? Any adult, 21 years of age or older, can legally possess up to one ounce of cannabis and the estimated equivalent of any other cannabis derived product, estimated by THC content. From the state of Colorado website:
“ Limits to buying:

When buying other cannabis-derived products, the concentration of THC in the product is considered. Basically, it goes something like this:
“The Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) in Colorado performed studies to determine what the THC equivalent of concentrates and edibles are in relation to marijuana in flower form. They argue that since products such as concentrates have a much higher level of THC, then you shouldn’t be able to purchase the same amount of concentrates as you can flower. As a result, the MED has issued ‘Marijuana Equivalency’ guidelines. Since October 1st, 2016 the following rules took effect in regards to recreational sales (medical sales remain unchanged):

You must be 21:
It’s illegal for people under 21 to buy, have or use retail marijuana.
Do not sell, share or give marijuana to anyone under the age of 21.
You must always present a valid ID proving you’re 21 or older.

It used to be that out-of-towners were more limited than us natives in how much product we could take home. Well, that all changed in 2016 and now it doesn’t matter where your ID hails from as long as you are 21 and over! One ounce (28 grams) of flower, or it’s THC equivalent, is the rule.
Now that you’ve got your marijuana product, where can you enjoy?

The rock that welcomes visitors to Estes Park, Colorado
While Colorado has a tremendous variety of products for you to enjoy; how, when and where you can legally enjoy your cannabis can present some obstacles. Vapes are great and at times people will turn a blind eye to them but they still emit an odor and require heat. That is where the new Inhaler by N-FUZED comes in.
There is no smoke, heat, odor or re-packing required. The lack of combustion also makes for less harmful effects on the upper and lower respiratory system. This not only makes for a more consistent high, but a discreet one as well. Whether you are heading to the slopes or your favorite Red Rocks show, the Inhaler by N-FUZED allows for complete discretion so you can elevate your state at any altitude.
