Colorado's Very First Pot Club Closes In One Day

By Cornelius Nunev


Voters in Colorado and Washington state made bold strides in recent elections, as both states decriminalized marijuana use. Around two "pot clubs" have opened up in Colorado but one such pot club, the White Horse Inn, shut down after one day of operations.

Forgot about lease leading to closure

Occasionally, numerous states will thumb their noses at the government by passing laws which run contrary to federal ones or to political stances taken by elected officials. One of the more recent efforts to flip off the federals was by voters in Colorado and Washington state, where voters approved popular initiatives to decriminalize recreational use of marijuana.

It is not lawful because there is still regulation; that is why it is called decriminalization instead of legalization.

There were two "pot clubs" produced right away in Colorado to allow individuals to bring in and smoke their own marijuana 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

It is still illegal in Colorado and Washington to sell weed, but you can purchase a membership to a pot club still. All you have to do is consume your own supply while in the club.

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 wound up getting evicted from the building by the owner. He was just a little eager to begin, according to the Huffington Post.

Not bad for other club

When looking at the terms of the contract, Lovato was certainly distracted.

Anybody 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 locations and holds "events" at them. An individual, according to CNN, would have to prove they are 21 to participate, but they can do whatever they want in the club.

When participants are done, they will likely head to the nearest Denny's and order some food, making a Denny's owner pretty happy for the night.
