"A Denver coffee shop received city approval Monday for the nation’s first business license to allow marijuana use by patrons under a 2016 voter-approved initiative," reports Jon Murray.

The Coffee Joint, which is already in operation in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Denver, will be "Bring Your Own Weed"—patrons will be allowed to vape or consume edibles, but "the shop will not allow any smoking, which is allowed only outdoors under state law, and can’t sell any marijuana products on site." Consumers won't have to go far, however, to get the marijuana to consume at the Coffee Joint. The owners of the coffee shop have ownership ties to the dispensary next door.

Jon Murray reported in a separate article that Denver voters approved social marijuana uses when they passed Initiative 300 in November 2016.
