    Default Purchasing Marijuana in a State Where It is Legal from Out-of-State

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: PA

    Strange question but you guys always give honest and accurate answers so wanted to post it. A friend of mine is getting married in a month and he and his wife will be going to Colorado afterward. Several of our mutual friends have gotten the idea to get him and his wife a "gift basket" from their hotel that contains marijuana edibles and other illegal items where we live in PA, but legal in CO. They were wondering if they could call the hotel and pre-purchase a gift basket, pay for it over the phone while being in PA, and if that is legal. So specifically, they would be in PA, call the hotel in CO, order the gift basket, provide a credit card number over the phone, and that's it. The basket would be held by the hotel in CO and would be delivered to mutual friends when the arrive at the hotel in CO next month.

    Whoever you purchase the gift basket from will not sell it to you if its illegal for you to purchase it. They have every reason to follow the law strictly and not put their license at risk.

    Colorado law does not allow for such purchases. The sales have to be made in person at a retail marijuana establishment so that the seller can verify that the buyer is at least age 21. No sales are permitted to made outside Colorado either. What you plan to do might also violate Pennsylvania law even if Colorado law allowed for it. I strongly suggest you find another type of gift basket to give them. If they want marijuana, they can easily get it themselves in most cities in Colorado.
