[2] Shortly after Initiative 300 passed at the polls, the Liquor Enforcement Division of the Colorado Department of Revenue announced new regulations to prevent bars and many restaurants from applying for new social marijuana use permits.
[3] In response to Initiative 300, the Colorado State Legislature began debating Senate Bill 184, introduced to provide consistent guidelines statewide for private marijuana membership clubs.
Establishments allowing cannabis consumption will be subject to regulation in a manner similar to alcohol, though will need to garner at least one additional approval from an eligible neighborhood organization prior to applying for a permit with the city.
[5] A "Social Consumption Advisory Committee" including Initiative 300’s backers and its opponents, community members and business representatives first met on January 18, 2017 to help shape the permit program and regulations.
"[7] The co-chairs of the new advisory committee are Denver licensing director Ashley Kilroy and Molly Duplechian from the city’s Office of Marijuana Policy.
