Colorado's Very First Pot Club Closes In 1 Day

By Cornelius Nunev


After just one day of operation, the country's first "pot club" has shut down in Colorado. It was one of two companies, which permit individuals to bring in their stash and consume it in a spot which isn't really their home.

Pot club closes as owners apparently forgot how lease worked

Occasionally, several 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 cannabis.

It is lawful and regulated now in both of the states.

In Colorado, at least two "pot clubs" were publicized. In essence, they are lounges where people can take their own marijuana and smoke. However, according to the Huffington Post, the owner of one pot club, the White Horse Inn, was so eager to get the store open on short term schedule that he inadvertently violated his lease.

Too thrilled to start

How pot clubs operate is that since selling marijuana is illegal in both Colorado and Washington state, people can buy a membership. If they want 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 cannabis use. The White Horse Inn was the other option.

The White Horse Inn lease did not allow the club to start as early as it did and wound up evicting owner Paul Lovato out of the building. Apparently, Lovato was too excited to begin the business that he did not look at his lease, and he opened shop one day too soon.

Not bad for other club

There are unsubstantiated rumors Lovato was distracted by the "like...total genius of Pink Floyd" while he was reviewing the contract's terms. Again, it is unverified.

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 actually moves to different locations and holds "events" at them. A person, according to CNN, would have to prove they are 21 to participate, but they can do whatever they want in the club.

Denny's will probably make a lot of cash nearby selling food after participants are done.
