Protecting the hell out of those sandwiches, and serving their corporate overlords.Adds Johanna:
Good thing there's absolutely nothing else going on in the city that those resources could have been used for. I know I feel safer now that those people smoking joints behind a business are off the streets. ????Comments Leon:

"Cheba Hut's Liquor License Under Review After Cops Bust 4/20 Party"

While the people cited for public consumption on April 20 work their way through the legal system, Cheba Hut faces bigger consequences. Not only was owner David Timmons cited for complicity, but Denver Department of Excise and Licenses communications director Eric Escudero confirms that his department is reviewing Cheba Hut's liquor license "for potential administrative actions as a result of marijuana public consumption violations documented on April 20."
The event at Cheba Hut did not promote on-site pot use in advertisements for its 4/20 event and was checking IDs at the door, but approximately six people started smoking pot on the back patio, Timmons says. "When I saw those IDs on the table, I didn't see any from Colorado," he adds. "A lot of out-of-towners don't understand the laws here."
Timmons is hoping the city will be more understanding. "I've never had any problems with the law," he says. "That location hasn't had any issues, either, so I don't expect anything to be harsh."
