Anyone heard about recreational marijuana sales being limited to a certain amount of THC? I was browsing the news stories and ran across a couple quotes from dispensaries saying they could only sell lower strengths to retail customers. Anyone have more info on this?

There are dispensaries saying their grade b is for rec must be to the discretion of the dispensary.

I dont believe that for a second. Supply and demand, dude. If i have 5000 people that want rx shelf flowers best believe Im focusing on cultivating/aquiring the top shelf so that I can stay competitive in the market. Its going to be a war zone and whoever can bring the highest most consistent thc #s for the lowest price is going to sell the most. The retail market is huge, and it might take a minute before supply meets the demand , but its going to be like we all hoped it would be. Proud to be a Colorado Native :-)

I heard in Amsterdam that this was supposed to happen but never knew if it went through or not. But it wouldnt make sense because if you allow up to X amount of plants everyone would just grow shit that was kill instead of buying purposely weaker shit.

7 grams is from someone not registered as a caregiver or some term like that.. Basically if they arent goingto pay tax on the sale they cant "sell" under A64

You can get up to 28.3? grams from a legal care provider..i.e. Weed store or your neighborhood CG

Here is what I'm talking about:

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/denver-dispensaries-prepare-to-sell-recreational-marijuana-on-jan-1 12/29/13
"At the Healing House on South Downing Street in Denver, the wait is almost over. .... "As a recreational user you're not going to be able to come over and buy some of the better grade marijuana. You're going to have to go to the other side of the counter and buy the lower grade stuff," said Book.
And they tell 7NEWS that recreational users must buy pot that contains less THC, the chemical found in marijuana. "I believe it's like a 17 percent THC limit, which is still a really high limit," assures Book. He’s expecting larger than usual crowds this week at the Healing House." "

http://www.watchnewspapers.com/view/full_story/24304943/article-Retail-Pot-Sales-Begin-in-Telluride-on-New-Years-Day?instance=latest_story 12/30/13
"Viditz-Ward owns the Telluride Green Room.....In accordance with state law, however, Viditz-Ward’s retail marijuana and infused products will contain lower levels of tetrahydrocannabinol, THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, than do his medical marijuana products.
“The law allows you to sell products that contain up to 500 milligrams of THC per package in medical marijuana products,” he said, “but in retail marijuana products, you are limited to 110 MG.” One-eighth of one ounce of most marijuana strains contains roughly that amount of THC, he explained."

I tried searching for CO law or code that limited THC in retail sales but couldn't find anything. I kinda crazy if it is true but just as crazy if dispensaries don't even know what they can sell.

That is limitations on the "potency" of edibles, the 500mg/100mg thing. And won't apply thc% of flower. Not sure if/how it would apply to concentrates. Medicaly they sell 500 & 250mg vape pens, maybe that is what the quote is referring to. But you can buy up to 2oz(1?) of concentrates with a red card so again, not sure on bho or whathaveyou.

I may be wrong but from what I've read and been told. Co residents over 21 can purchase up to 1oz of flower, keeping them within possession limits. For out of state its 7 grams.

I'm gonna find out on all of this tomorrow(if its not stupid packed), I'm a patient but still gonna go buy some rec for the hell of it, lol.

Jake: Are you involved with a dispensary? I only ask cuz I had read that only dispensaries can actually get a lic to sell rec for 2 years and am wondering if that is still true. I don't consider the "transfer" thing under A64 to be rec btw. Or what I should say really is, within only the context of recreational sales. Or are you saying a liced med caregiver is legal to sell under recreational? lol, sorry im a bit buzzin right now, I guess im really asking for someone to lay it all out for me.

Found the the retail code and your right AG.

Edible Retail Marijuana
Product
"THC Content Container Restriction. Each individually packaged Edible Retail Marijuana Product, even if comprised of multiple servings, may include no more than a total of 100 milligrams of active THC."
"Product"Serving Size Statement.
“The standardized serving size for this product includes no more than ten milligrams of active THC.”

I didn't find anything on limiting the THC in flowers. Still a pretty stupid quote from the HH saying you can only buy lower grade MJ.
