Colorado Marijuana Purchase: Residency Requirement

Yes, you must be a Colorado resident to purchase recreational marijuana in Colorado.

• Age: 21+
• ID: Valid Colorado driver's license or state ID (proving residency).
• Medical marijuana: Requires a Colorado-issued Medical Marijuana Registry card (also residency-based).

Non-residents cannot legally buy recreational cannabis. Some mistakenly believe a US passport suffices—it does not. Dispensaries scan IDs; out-of-state licenses are rejected.

Note: Possession limits (1 oz flower, 8g concentrate, 800mg edibles) apply to residents. Consumption only on private property (not hotels, cars, public). Transport across state lines is federal crime.
