Colorado Okays Cannabis Social-Use Venues & Home Delivery

CO oks consumption lounges

Legislators in Colorado gave their final blessing to a bill allowing retail cannabis stores, hotels, restaurants and other businesses to apply for marijuana social-consumption areas.

They also approved a measure to allow for home delivery of cannabis in the state.

Gov. Jared Polis is expected to sign both measures.

MJBizDaily takeaway: The two bills may well boost marijuana sales. As they go into effect in 2020 and beyond, they’ll also offer new opportunities for MJ entrepreneurs to launch or expand a wide variety businesses – from delivery services to new on-site use venues to cannabis bus tours, to name a few.

In particular, MJ tour operators will welcome that the legislation helps clear up legal uncertainties that have existed around those particular types of businesses. Those ambiguities led to two cannabis tour operators in Denver receiving citations last year.
