More than six months after limited recreational marijuana sales became legal in Colorado, lots of out-of-towners (and some locals, too) remain confused about the rules. But we at Westword are here to help.

Smokin’ Smart: A Guide to Colorado’s Pot Rules, by director and co-star Bailey Geoghan, takes a 1950s-style public-service-announcement approach, with an unseen but thoroughly hep narrator schooling “Billy,” a visitor from Salt Lake City, about the dos and don’ts of cannabis consumption in the Mile High state. Check out the hilarious yet informative results below.
