But don't expect those fun places in Denver, either. Mayor Michael Hancock recently urged Denver City Council to ban private pot clubs: "We will not support...the establishment of private clubs in Denver. Amendment 64 does not provide for this, and neither should we," he wrote. "We already know the toll substance abuse takes on so many of our residents. Sadly, many of them are parents. The cost of substance abuse on our health-care system, our jails and in our courts is substantial. I want more for all of our kids and for all Denverites."
