Question for the law-savvy: If this Amendment passes, how would it impact existing State law which makes use/sale a criminal offense? Surely both can not exist, right?

To the extent that new statutes conflict with older statutes, the older statues become invalid - the principle of legislative supremacy.

We aren't talking about conflicting statutes. Amendment 64 is a state Constitution Amendment, which will supersede any statute. Hence, the main crux of the issue/discussion of it. Far too easy to amend the state constitution and an issue like this should be handled at the legislator/statute level, not at the amendment level.Originally Posted by Circuits

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
That's one of the things I was curious about... So technically this goes one higher at the State Constitutional level, it won't even be detailed in the CRS... Is alcohol in Colorado handled the same way? Or is alcohol legislated in CRS?

It's CRS 18 for criminal and CRS 42 for traffic related. CRS 12 I think is licensing regs not sure.
Alcohol isn't mentioned in the state constitution. It is handled in the statutes. While I am normally loathe to quote Wikipedia, they do a pretty good job of outlining the constitution.

So if I understand correctly, the voters decide upon amendments to the state constitution, but state legislation decides on changes to the Colorado Revised Statutes... Right?

Simplistically speaking, yes.
