Sting On Colorado Recreational Cannabis Outlets Finds No Cannabis Being Sold to Minors
Colorado officials recently conducted a sting on 20 recreational cannabis outlets i
n an attempt to find out if they are following state laws and regulations. The officials found that all of them are complying with the law, and not a single one of the outlets were caught selling cannabis to a minor.
According to the Marijuana Policy Project:
“The sting operations involved sending underage customers into stores to attempt to buy marijuana while being supervised by police officers. Shops who break the law face huge fines and can have their licenses revoked.
During the course of these sting operations, not a single underage buyer was allowed to purchase marijuana from any of the 20 shops.”
“We are pleased with the results and will continue to monitor the businesses to ensure that the compliance efforts are maintained”, says Lewis Koski, Director of the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division, the group that conducted the sting.
The results of the sting help to counteract one of the most common arguments used against legalizing cannabis in Colorado, that it will lead to increased access for minors.
