The Land Of Legal Weed

Sullum delves into Colorado’s cannabis legalization process:

Customers [of a pot shop] will not be able to buy alcohol, tobacco, or cannabis-free snacks or drinks, and they will not be allowed to consume marijuana on the premises. The latter rule apparently puts the kibosh on dreams of Amsterdam-style cannabis cafes sprouting on the streets of Denver and Fort Collins. But what if you buy marijuana in a pot shop and take it with you to a bar or restaurant? In an effort to forestall such BYOW arrangements, legislators added marijuana to Colorado’s Clean Indoor Air Act, which bans smoking in bars and restaurants. But as amended, the law applies only to “combustible marijuana” and “marijuana smoke,” leaving open the possibility that bars and restaurants could allow patrons to use vaporizers or consume cannabis-infused foods purchased elsewhere.
