OPEN CONTAINERS IN VEHICLES

Considering recreational marijuana use is legal in Colorado, it’s no surprise that one of the most frequent traffic infractions we see is driving with an open container of marijuana. The penalty is a small fine, but it still looks bad on your record, so we try to get the case dismissed by arguing that:

1) The marijuana container’s seal was not broken;
2) There was no evidence that the marijuana had been consumed in the vehicle; or
3) The marijuana was in an area behind the rear seat or other area not normally occupied by passengers.

As a rule of thumb, whenever you do purchase marijuana from a dispensary, you’re advised to store it sealed in your trunk and bring it home immediately. COLORADO LEGAL DEFENSE GROUP
