Not long after deciding to allow recreational marijuana sales in town, the city of Craig is dipping its toes into the possibility of taking the next step: Legalizing the product’s use within the establishments that sell it.
Currently, Craig like most municipalities where retail pot is legal only allows a purchaser of the product to use it in private. It’s not legal for someone to walk over to Rocky Mountain Cannabis, for example, buy some pot and smoke up on the premises.
That practice is referred to as “cannabis hospitality,” and it’s something Craig is now lightly exploring.
Weed years are like dog years since the plant was legalized, basically making Dank by Pank's third-place trophy for Don Shula at the 2016 High Times Cannabis Cup a 35-year-old honor.

Moving into a new home last week taught me two things: I own way too much shit, and my body is getting older. Cleaning a couple-year dude dwelling and hauling furniture around town for two different people in one 24-hour span had my legs aching, but I still had fun chores ahead of me like organizing a new apartment and learning how to park overnight in Cap Hill.

James was elected to Craig City Council in 2019 as a proponent for recreational marijuana sales in the city. He is also the general manager of Rocky Mountain Cannabis.

When Colorado voters approved Amendment 64 nearly a decade ago to establish new rules for the growth and sales of recreational cannabis, much of Moffat County’s populace was hesitant to jump on the bandwagon.
However, one of the most fervent local supporters of the idea was Paul James, whose own experience in the medical marijuana field had him enthused about the prospect of expanding the legalization of the substance.
