First Colorado Pot Club Closes After One Day

By Cornelius Nunev


Colorado and Washington state voters recently made the bold step to decriminalize recreational weed use. In Colorado, a couple small businesses opened up "pot clubs," locations where people could take their private deposit and consume it. The first pot club to open, however, didn't make a go of it, closing after just 24 hours of operation.

Pot clubs publicized in Colorado

In order to say "we can do whatever we want" to the government, many states will pass laws that go against federal regulation. Colorado and Washington voters did just that as they decriminalized the use of cannabis for recreational purposes.

Decriminalizing, for those who don't understand that there is a difference, is where a thing is lawful, but regulated. Legalization is the ablution of any regulation.

There were two "pot clubs" created right away in Colorado to permit people to bring in and smoke their own cannabis in the place. The White Horse Inn is one of these clubs that violated his lease because he was so interested in opening shop in the short term schedule, according the Huffington Post.

Kicked out from place

How pot clubs operate is that since selling cannabis is illegal in both Colorado and Washington state, people can buy a membership. If they wish to fire up a joint or whatever, they can go to the pot club and consume their own supply.

Club 64 was the other club that opened in Colorado, according to ABC, and it was named after Amendment 64 that is allowing the marijuana use. The White Horse Inn was the other choice.

If White Horse owner Paul Lovato had waited one day to open the business, he would have been fine. Since he opened early, he ended up getting evicted from the building by the owner. He was just a little desperate to get started, according to the Huffington Post.

Other club doing just fine

When looking at the conditions of the contract, Lovato was clearly distracted.

Anyone who wants to be a part of Club 64, on the other hand, just has to pay a $29.99 membership fee. Club 64 is not located in a permanent location, but it really moves to different places and holds "events" at them. A person, according to CNN, would need to prove they are 21 to participate, but they can do whatever they want in the club.

Denny's will most likely make a ton of cash nearby selling food after participants are done.
