Best Places To Pack A Bowl & Chill In Durango

Before you get too excited about me revealing pot-friendly businesses in Durango, or places where you can kick back and light up…you need to know this: Consuming marijuana in public is illegal in the state of Colorado. That’s right! You can buy it, possess it and even show it off to your friends, but you cannot consume it publicly. It has to be on private property. Yes, this law includes the ski resorts too, such as Purgatory, formerly know as Durango Mountain Resort. It also includes all federal land, including national forests. And, for good measure, I’ll mention that driving while impaired is illegal, too. Just in case you missed all the warnings about driving while impaired.

OK, now that’s out of the way, let’s get to the good stuff. So where can you blaze up a tasty joint or kick down a few gummies?

I can’t really say where you can light up … but I can share with you the best activities to do while you are in Durango, Colorado!

Hiking

Hiking with a nice buzz is a fantastic way to relax and get some exercise. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with how peaceful and serene the forest is. Durango has no shortage of hiking trails. One of the local favorites is Hog’s Back Mountain. Climb this scenic trail for an incredible view of the city of Durango. If you are looking for something a little more laid back, I would recommend a nice stroll down the Colorado Trail.

Chilling with your friends

Bringing a nice bottle of wine or a 12 pack of SKA Pinstripes is always in good taste in Durango. Now, step it up a bit with some nice Afghani Kush.

Clean the House

Someone should conduct a study on clean houses and the correlation with the legalization of marijuana in Colorado. It’s a chore that needs to be done, why not spice it up a bit? Turn on your favorite tunes, grab the vacuum and get busy. Your wife / husband / roommate / dog will love you for it!

Watch Movies

Some movies were just meant to be watched high. My personal favorites are Sausage Party, The Big Lebowski and of course … Beavis and Butthead. Grab a big bag of popcorn, roll up a joint and enjoy.

Concerts

Being high at a concert is so common, you might as well join the crowd. Durango hosts concerts and festivals throughout the year.
