Some bar tried to get around the law by holding a "private party" at their bar on New Year's. You basically had to request a reservation, which they called an "invitation". They then "invited" you to their "private party".

The thing I find funny is that this bar, and the two doofuses I've seen smoking on the street, are complete and absolute morons. This is a new system, and if you're smart you follow the rules and are polite and respectful of everyone. If you decide that you're going to be a dumba** about it, you're going to cause a backlash and the laws are going to get a lot stricter.

The laws are still messed up if a person can't sit by his campfire and smoke a doobie.

In many cases, ski lifts and camping sites are on federal land anyway, so it has nothing to do with the Colorado law.

Aside from that, the challenge is finding the delicate balance between allowing people to use it and not annoying others. Those are the things that our state is undoubtedly the guinea pig for and will hopefully eventually find good solutions.

Technically, none of it has anything to do with Colorado law. It's still a federal crime.

While (obviously) true, I don't know what that adds to the conversation given the feds' statements about how they're approaching this. They've basically said "we'll let state laws fly with some exceptions," and one of those exceptions is federal land.
