LOS ANGELES, CA - OCTOBER 19: Dave Warden, a bud tender at Private Organic Therapy (P.O.T.), a non-profit co-operative medical marijuana dispensary, displays various types of marijuana available to patients on October 19, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. Attorney General Eric Holder announced new guidelines today for federal prosecutors in states where the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes is allowed under state law. Federal prosecutors will no longer trump the state with raids on the southern California dispensaries as they had been doing, but Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley recently began a crackdown campaign that will include raids against the facilities. Cooley maintains that virtually all marijuana dispensaries are in violation of the law because they profit from their product. The city of LA has been slow to come to agreement on how to regulate its 800 to 1,000 dispensaries. Californians voted to allow sick people with referrals from doctors to consume cannabis with the passage of state ballot Proposition 215 in 1996 and a total of 14 states now allow the medicinal use of marijuana.

We didn’t think it possible, but the bass music capital of the world is now more lit than ever.

Following the landslide of marijuana legalization efforts won during last week’s election, Denver, Colorado has officially passed a law that enables consumers to use marijuana in any business that permits it. This update comes as a development on the 2014 ruling that merely allowed users 21 and older to use it in limited private-only areas.

Initiative 300, passed last week, allows Denver businesses, like restaurants and bars and even dance music venus, to file for a permit that allows them to designate indoor and outdoor smoking areas for customers. These areas would be limited to edibles and vaping if they are indoors. They also are forbidden from being visible to public view or to places where children may congregate.
