The Coffee Joint Cannabis Lounge

"Located next door to a dispensary, Denver’s the Coffee Joint may look like a run-of-the-mill beatnik coffeehouse, but in 2018 it became the first place you could publicly (and legally) consume cannabis in Colorado . . . but you still can’t smoke. (Smoking marijuana in public is illegal in Colorado.) In addition to offering a relaxed environment for vaping, enjoying cannabis-infused food and drink, and sampling THC concentrates, the Coffee Joint offers lots of regular events, including movie screenings and meditation practices." - Dominique Michelle Astorino

"A Denver coffee shop is about to become the first business of its kind in the country to allow on-site marijuana use. Located at 1130 Yuma Court in Lincoln Park, The Coffee Joint received its cannabis consumption establishment license Monday, The Denver Post reported. The license was established in 2016 when Denver voters approved Initiative 300. While some California cities allow smoking inside dispensary lounges, this will be the first cafe in the U.S. to sanction pot consumption on premises." - Josie Sexton
