Denver Marijuana Debate Focuses on What Counts as 'Public' Consumption

Can being able to smell it be considered a violation?

While the possession and consumption of one ounce or less of marijuana has been legalized, the battle over using marijuana in public is far from over.

Monday, Denver City Council's Amendment 64 Committee will introduce a bill to further limit where marijuana smokers can light up.

The committee will introduce a bill banning the possession, use, display, transfer, distribution, sale, transport or growth of marijuana within any park, mountain park, recreational facility and the 16th Street Mall.
