COLORADO: Two recreational marijuana shops in Aspen were cited this week by state regulators for selling pot to an underage customer in a set of rare cases for the industry in Colorado.
The Marijuana Enforcement Division confirmed that it issued two citations after conducting seven underage compliance checks in Aspen.
Since January 2014, the division has conducted about 130 underage compliance checks statewide, resulting in a total of nine violations, Moore said.
In the 19 months since recreational marijuana has been legal in Colorado, recreational shops — for the most part — have been lauded for their compliance with state law, particularly on the hot-button topic of underage possession and consumption.
