Better hurry if you are planning on skiing. Some of the resorts are already closing down.
Stapleton is nice but it's a ways from Downtown. It now has plenty to do in and around but you are 15min or so from the downtown. 5 Points was think in the hood when I was growing up but it's a lot better now. Still wouldn't be in my search results. Look in the Highlands or RiNo for a great atmosphere and, quick ride, if not walk, into Downtown.

Very surprised it took this long. I guess that's what happened when more and more states legalize it. We aren't as special anymore.
A lot of the places for rent on Airbnb were advertised as 420 friendly and one of the places we looked at had a picture of a bong on the table.
Still can't smoke in public and hotels don't generally like smoking so I assume the pot-friendly Air BnB places are doing good business.
Yeah, it's strange coming from a state where you still can't buy liquor on Sundays or in a grocery store and the county that I live in used have the "Club membership requirement" if you wanted to drink at a restaurant. Ms. Fijimn mentioned that there was a 'bud & brew' tour and/or a massage that involves THC cream, which sounds intriguing.
It may not be legal, but you can get a contact high walking around downtown at night.
Any opinions on this brewery reference guide - looks like a decent list. I am a novice when it comes to Denver breweries.

If you are downtown Great Divide, Wynkoop and Jagged Mountain are solid and easy walks in the city. I don't normally recommend these type of places because they offer nothing in terms of CO culture BUT if you want to try a number of different local brews you may want to get some flights at a YardHouse or Mellow Mushroom. Some place that has a huge tap list where you can try beers from 20 different places.
Or if you will be here May 12, the Bacon & Beer fest is that day at Mile High Stadium.
I don't think you are supposed to in Boston either, but trust me, it didn't stop people from doing so the last time I visited.
FYI, I don't want my post to be taken as an endorsement or criticism of the policy, just saying it was prevalent after legalization.
Wife booked a house in Clayton? Doesn't look like there is a lot of stuff around it, but it's got a big backyard and nice interior. Looks to be a short Uber to RiNo and Downtowm
Hmmm...I'm not up on all the hottest new areas so maybe it's changed recently but that has been a sketchy area for 20 plus years.
I think there is still a Red & Jerry's on south Santa Fe that has OTB. Other than that you'll have to go way out east to the horse track, Arapahoe Park.
If you are downtown they close down civic center park for Cinco, all weekend. Lots of good grub but it's outdoors so you'll have to head somewhere else to watch the race.
