Most of you may not know this, or care but despite the fact that marijuana use, sales, distribution, etc is legal in Colorado, state law cannot supersede Federal law and Federal law still views dope use, possession, sales, distribution, growth, etc - as illegal.
We've seen a boat load of growers and distributors in both California and Colorado busted by Federal agents on many occasions in recent years.
Keep that in mind if you're going to get on a Bus here in Denver.
Buses are governed by Federal regulation and laws.
It was explained to me that getting on the bus with dope - even as little as a big fat joint - can be classified as trafficking.
I've personally seen more than a few kiddos roll fatties and sell them to other passengers on the Mall Shuttles and buses for cash on the spot.
There's yet another Federal crime.
Will every passenger who commits these crimes be prosecuted?
Odds are, not even close.
Is it guaranteed that if you're caught doing these things on the bus, you'll be charged with Federal crimes?
Nope...but why take the chance?
We play the lotto and the chances are far slimmer that we'll win that lottery.
Just to put the "risk" into perspective.
It's a $2.25 ride that at most lasts two hours.
Why risk Federal fines & prison times?
Recently there was a passenger who left his backpack on the bus with around a pound of dope, a huge mayo jar packed with buds, a grip of cash and his cell phone with not only all of his information but with all of his friends names, numbers and his business associates names & numbers.
He was gone for only 20 minutes but us Drivers are trained to spot articles that are left behind and to either turn them into Lost & Found or in this case, call authorities.
The passenger was a bit shocked and freaked when he'd heard that his bag had already been found and turned in.
I can imagine that wait while he tried to decide whether to go home and wait for the authorities to come find him...that would SUCK!
Anywho...keep all that stuff at home or at work but just off the bus.
Less paperwork for your Drivers.
Less stress for you and the other passengers while enduring that ride to your destinations.
Less crime on the bus.
Less chance of you getting caught and busted.
As Always, "Welcome aboard, Ditch the Dope, Find your seats - Let's Roll!"
