First Marijuana Club Already Closed Down in Colorado

Posted: Updated:

DENVER, Colo. - The nation's first known recreational pot club is already closed.

The White Horse Inn in the Colorado town of Del Norte closed on Tuesday, a day after opening, because of a landlord dispute.

The owner says he wanted to be the first in the nation to open a marijuana club. He beat a club in Denver by several hours.

He says his landlord saw the publicity about the club and canceled his lease before it was scheduled to take effect on Tuesday.

 

Colorado voters legalized use and limited possession of marijuana in November. The marijuana measure bans public consumption but does not ban members-only group smoke-outs.
