(CNN) -- "Do you want to hit this?" a man asked President Barack Obama in a bar in Denver Tuesday night. The president laughed but didn't indulge.

It wasn't the only time Obama was offered weed on his night out. That's apparently what happens in Colorado, which recently legalized recreational marijuana.

The man posted the exchange on Instagram for the world to see.

watch on Youtube:

24-year-old Matthew Anton, spoke to the Daily Caller about his unusual offering.

Anton said he spent about an hour with the presidents’ secret service detail, just “trying to bust some chops, get a few laughs.”

“I was holding up a ‘joint’ and I really didn’t mind because, well, it’s Colorado! I thought it wasn’t a big deal,” Anton said, who added, so profoundly: “In most situations I give no (f-word expletive).

3. Smoking weed in public places is as illegal as drinking alcohol, so kind of stupid.

4. I find it disrespectful

like how someone asked Bill Clinton on TV whether he used boxers or briefs. Okay, the President isn't Louis XIV who would have a bowel movement at Versailles in front of his court and they would have to flatter it. But he's still the President and you don't speak to him like a buddy or friend to whom you might offer a toke. Some Americans are so clueless as far as the limits pf propriety. And I'm an old rock and jazz guitar player who smoked a lot of grass in my youth.

5. I think it's the same as asking him if he wants a drink

. . .in that town.

Hopefully the law will progress that far. I think it's still illegal to smoke in public there.

6. ...and Obama had a good natured laugh.

Well played sir. Well played.

I'm sure Romney would have done the same. hahahaha
No he wouldn't.

7. Hahaha! I read the thread title in a different way.

One that was much more......sexy.....

8. I don't know why

. . . I didn't get that at first.

I think that expression was before my time - married now for 35 years- but I can definitely see where you got that. Pretty funny!

9. Well, it would fit right into the RW whack-a-doodle theories about him anyway.

I think I've seen some that insist he's secretly gay married while he's trying to impose Sharia law.....
Or something....

It's hard to keep up....

10. Oh, big deal. Sheez. Some people should lighten up, no pun intended.

11. I'm not sure who you're talking about, but this isn't meant to be a critical thread

. . . I thought it was a pretty cool encounter; a hopeful sign of the times.

[closeupready]

12. oh, no, I didn't mean you - I sort of meant, 'why is this a news story?'

You did good posting it here.

13. A question of endearment. nt

14. Never saw that coming said no one ever.

You go out to a bar in Denver and you're the President, what do you expect? He played it well, and now it's done and over.
