Denver approves hospitality licenses, allowing people to consume weed in some businesses

Get ready to start seeing more people smoking marijuana inside some of Denver's businesses. The city is approving a new hospitality establishment license so people can legally consume cannabis products on site.

They started accepting applications in November, and approved the first license this month.

Before this year, people could consume marijuana legally outside their home if it was at a private social club operating on a membership. After overhauling its marijuana rules and regulations in 2021, Denver didn't allow private clubs to allow on-site consumption anymore. The city now requires a license to do that.

On Monday, the city approved a license for an existing private club in Rino called Tetra Lounge, pending successful completion of required inspections. Its owner, Dewayne Benjamin, hopes to open a consumption lounge before 4/20.

Myself... I only smoke and/or drink at home or somewhere I am spending the night. I bet it's great for tourism though.
