COLORADO: If recreational marijuana wasn’t legal, Rick Smith would not be on holiday this week in Breckenridge.
In addition to ziplining and rafting during his vacation with family and friends in a Breckenridge condo, Smith visited the Breckenridge Cannabis Club on Main Street, picking up some marijuana and THC-infused mints and candies as well as a Colorado pot leaf sticker for his truck back home.
The Breckenridge Town Council in September last year banned marijuana stores in downtown, including along its historic Main Street, where T-shirt shops, bars, restaurants and boutiques occupy century-old buildings along Summit County’s most picturesque, pedestrian-friendly avenue.
The vote allowed the second-floor Cannabis Club to remain on Main Street until its lease expires on Sept. 1.
