Marijuana lounges (law, legal, clubs)

[itinérant]

Hello. Are there any marijuana lounges in Colorado where people are allowed to drink alcohol in addition to smoking weed?


I'm basically looking for a way to drink and smoke weed at the same time in an establishment. The private clubs are better than nothing, but I would prefer a place that is open to the public.


Thanks.

No.

It is not legal to smoke cannabis in public, anywhere in Colorado.

Man, that sucks. Out of curiosity, do you know if it's like that anywhere in the United States? That is, an establishment where you can smoke marijuana AND drink alcohol.


I will take one that allows just smoking marijuana, but would prefer both.

I am not as familiar with the laws in Washington, Oregon, or Alaska as I am with Colorado, but I doubt such a place exists at this time. You might want to ask in the appropriate forums concerning those states.

Here's a list of Colorado marijuana lounges.

Thanks. Sadly, it doesn't look like these establishments serve alcohol.

They'd need a liquor license and I don't think that's legal at the moment. On the bright side the Democratic party has endorsed a pathway to marijuana legalization in its platform committee.

The problem with legal marijuana everywhere is that, regardless of what congress does, we are bound by our current laws that are enshrined in the Colorado Constitution. It would take a separate constitutional amendment and public to cancel out Amendment 64 and then the legislature would have to pass new laws concerning growing and consumption. Just because the US Congress may make it legal, doesn't mean that the states have to make it legal.

Well hopefully a well written fed bill WOULD force the states to make it legal across the board. But im not betting on that...

I think it's just a matter of time before we see a Constitutional Amendment overturning Amendment 64. You already have 25 states and D.C. that have legalized Medical and 4 states that have legalized recreational. California and Nevada is set to legalize recreational this November. You also have about 6 other states with some form of Cannabis law on the ballot this year including Arizona with recreational. I have a good feeling about Arizona with California and Nevada being an almost sure thing. That is half your border states allowing recreational. I think that would put a lot of pressure on New Mexico the following year to try for recreational. Texas is going to be the hold out for recreational for a while but I can see medical in 2-3 years. It's a slow movement but it's happening.
