Very strict regulations are in place regarding the marijuana industry and the consumption of marijuana in general. The Denver Initiative 300 allows businesses to apply for a license for adult marijuana consumption in designated areas. Although I-300, , which granted businesses the ability to apply for a license for adult marijuana consumption in designated areas, was approved in 2016, there are few venues to legally consume marijuana in Colorado due to the various complications that come with businesses such as these.
Excitingly, Colorado’s second marijuana use business is located just a short distance from campus. Vape and Play, a legal and licensed place to consume weed, is collaborating with Dean Ween’s Honeypot Lounge to provide people of age with a safe and fun place to smoke weed. Located just over on South Broadway, Dean Ween’s Honeypot Lounge plans to host many events to promote their brand. This area of Broadway Street has been named “The Green Mile” due to all of the dispensaries and marijuana-related businesses on this strip. The Honeypot Lounge does not sell cannabis products, but it is a place where you are allowed to actually use it. Because of the convenient location of the lounge, customers can easily purchase their marijuana products and walk right over to the lounge to use their products. All the paraphernalia you need will be provided for you.
Because the Honeypot Lounge has their license to allow customers to consume cannabis, they do not have their alcohol license. You cannot consume both marijuana and alcohol at once at a legally licensed place, and if you are suspected to be intoxicated, you will not be allowed in. Although alcohol cannot be sold at the Honeypot Lounge, they offer a tasteful menu of non-alcoholic beverages and snacks that will surely satisfy your munchies.
Vape and Play organizes various events and games to entertain their stoned visitors with guests that range from musicians to comedians to speakers. You will not be bored at a Vape lounge, as their entire business revolves around amusing and pleasuring their guests. Customer service is one of the biggest highlights of this business. Vape and Play allows you and your friends to schedule a specific time to attend the lounge in order to ensure an easy cannabis consumption experience for each person.
I predict that this new industry and approach to cannabis consumption will make a serious impact in the marijuana industry. Not only will regular smokers come to use their products, but this venue will open the doors for many people to experiment with marijuana in a safe and regulated place, even if they have never tried it before. Vape lounges will finally provide people a place to get stoned in a social setting, instead of just hanging out in someone’s home. Travelers from all over the world come to Colorado to experience the marijuana scene first hand, but where are they supposed to go once they buy their weed? Vape Lounges resolve this issue and are perfect for observers, first-time users, and even regular smokers.
