The state of Colorado has really been a pioneer in the new cannabis industry. After passing a law allowing for adult use back in 2013, the state began to flourish thank’s to new money coming due to new businesses. If you ever go to Denver or any other city in Colorado you would know that consuming anywhere that wasn’t a home that you owned or an establishment that had an understanding, it was hard to consume in peace.
In the mix of the mess called the 2016 election, one small law was passed in Denver that could go a long way towards changing how and when you can use cannabis across the country.
Per 9news:
Denver voters decided to push the boundaries of marijuana law by passing ordinance 300 in this year’s election, which opens the possibility of designated areas where marijuana can be used at places of business.
The idea was supported by many of the same people who helped campaign for Amendment 64, which made Colorado the first state in the nation to legalize recreational marijuana.
The measure gives Denver City Council 60 days to write the rules governing how businesses apply for a permit to let people use marijuana on their premises.
Marijuana dispensaries can’t apply because state law bans on-site consumption.
The permits will cost $1,000 and be valid for up to one year, but they could be valid for as little as one night.
For example, one of the old theaters downtown could hold a concert and designate its balcony as a marijuana area for the evening.
Of course, there are levels to this. To learn more ins and outs about the law, click here
