I want a shop with a clean professional kitchen making the stuff I buy. Not to disparage my friends who cook, but I'd rather buy from a shop food I am going to ingest. Smoking doesn't really appeal to me as my job as a singer is really contingent on clean lungs and good vocal chords. Plus the "head high" that I get from smoking isn't really enjoyable for me, either. Twelve more days! 19 o'clock fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Dec 20, 2013 |

NathanScottPhillips posted:You may be surprised at the quality of edibles already being produced in CO. I have a friend who cooks edibles of all sorts; candies, baked goods, even pasta sauce and salad dressing! He used to be a head chef at Rodizio Grill. Do edibles manufacturers need to go through some health inspection? If they're selling packaged foods for consumption off premises I would think that would bring them under the jurisdiction of the FDA from a food safety standpoint, which is likely to cause other problems. How does that work?

Yeah, basically if you can make something from butter or oil (infused with weed, respectively), you can make it a magic edible.

Just to clarify here, the FDA doesn't perform inspections of local restaurant kitchens. That's handled by local or county administrative departments, which may make use of FDA-provided guidelines. That means there's not going to be issues where the a federal agency is having to deal with certifying a local restaurant or bakery that is using marijuana in its food, but you're not getting "FDA inspected" safety, you're getting inspections based on Colorado (or wherever) laws and agencies.

Apparently, there will be a grand total of 8 retail marijuana stores opening on New Year's Day, along with 30 growers and four infused product manufacturers...although it looks like many many more will follow shortly after. http://www.9news.com/news/article/370604/339/Pot-sellers-prepare-for-Jan-1 9news posted:DENVER - Denver will begin issuing retail marijuana licenses to businesses. EDIT: Upon re-reading the article, it's not entirely clear (to me) whether there will be 8 retail stores statewide, or if that's just in Denver. I'll keep looking.

Looks like 8 in Denver will be the early bloomers, others have been approved on the state level, but not the local level, so they won't be able to open until a later date.

A complete list of entities issued a license in time for Jan 1 operation will be posted by 5pm MST here: http://www.denvergov.org/businesslicensing/DenverBusinessLicensingCenter/RetailMarijuana/tabid/445028/Default.aspx Gotcha. Since this is on the City of Denver's website, I assume this map won't include anything outside the Denver area? (I'm in Greeley and trying to figure out if anyone up here will be open on the 1st; at least one dispensary in town has been issued a license but hasn't said if they'll be open on the 1st or not)

http://medicalmarijuanabreckenridge.com/amendment-64/ This is my local shop. It is three blocks from my apartment. I buy tea from the shop downstairs. I am excited to consolidate my shopping trips. Edit: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151773212492251&set=a.10151726566847251.1073741825.299470537250&type=1&theater Very official despite the fact that local law will prohibit retail locations on Main Street. This location close to where I live will have until September 1 to move unless amendments are passed in the coming year. It sucks because they have been local leaders in doing marijuana business right and are now falling due to legislation. We have three liquor stores downtown, presently. We are restricted to purchasing up to 1 ounce of marijuana at a transaction. I don't know about y'all, but to me that is a LOT of marijuana. 19 o'clock fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Dec 28, 2013 |

TenementFunster posted:hahahahaha sorry pal but Greeley and the rest of Weld County (and practically every other red county in the state) banned retail sales the second they could. you'll have to make the drive to Denver for the foreseeable future. Fort Collins doesn't even allow it yet. check that second link I posted. notice how 90% of the list is Denver, and the rest is predominately ski towns? Wait, the list of approved recreational retail shops (in your second link) shows two in Garden City, which is right next to Greeley (one's actually listed in Greeley for some reason but it advertises as being in Garden City, don't know why) and Garden City is in Weld County. It also shows one in Fort Collins. You're right that Greeley did, though. And that one's pretty recent... EDIT: I guess those ones could've been issued state licenses, but not municipal ones, since you have to get licenses from both. quote:move out of redneck colorado, dude.

Yeah Garden City is, for all intents and purposes, a part of Greeley. The mayor actually cited the city's origins as a speakeasy town in his explanation to allow recreational pot sales. They'll get plenty of business from the college student/grad population here, smoking is widespread enough among that demographic that I'm somewhat caught off guard when I meet someone that doesn't smoke.

Greeley is such a shithole. It's the worst part of Colorado by far. Hell even the podunk 500 people towns near the Kansas border have more character and charm than Greeley. Whenever people start bitching about how terrible Pueblo or wherever is I just say "oh man you haven't been to Greeley yet have you"?

There's a "no price talk" rule in TCC, but perhaps it would be appropriate to the discussion here as a comparison to the black market? Even without black market price comparisons, do we have a general idea of what costs for retail consumers will be in January?

Drinking in public is still considered a fairly anti-social behavior and is, generally speaking, also illegal. If the liquor store across the street from me had people drinking on the sidewalk out front, I'd be pretty annoyed at that, too. There is also no sensible way in which one would inadvertently ingest second hand alcohol.

Same goes for smoking-in-public laws. This has been settled in [Denver] Colorado at least; they found it legal for you to smoke cannabis on your porch or in your front yard.
