The 4/20 on Marijuana/Pot/Cannabis

“Rocky Mountain High.” Sure, you’ve heard former Aspen resident John Denver’s classic song before, but these days, with the legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado, you might be wondering if he was only talking about our 14,000-foot peaks. So, how high is Aspen?

Perhaps you don't consume, and you are worried that legalized marijuana will affect your family's vacation. Take the time to educate yourself with all information provided, but the short answer is, it will only affect your trip if you want it to. The restrictions surrounding the legalization of pot have regulated the industry similarly to alcohol consumption and for the non-consumer, walking down the street, or skiing the slopes, cannabis is a non-issue.
