Pot Rules Expedited By Boulder City Council

Boulder area customers should be able to buy recreational marijuana starting early next year perhaps as soon as January, but more likely in February under an expedited process worked out by city officials in response to industry concerns. The date when the city intends to accept applications for conversions from existing medical marijuana businesses has gone from June to January to March and now back to January.

During the contentious process in recent weeks, city officials said they needed more time to manage the conversion, and business owners said they would lose customers to Denver and to the black market if not allowed to convert. Under regulations adopted unanimously by the Boulder City Council on Tuesday night, the city will accept requests for conversions starting Jan. 2.

The city says it will hire a deputy licensing clerk and a marijuana coordinator to expedite the processing of applications. If a medical marijuana business is keeping the same ownership and management, it should be able to get a recreational marijuana license from the city after a short meeting to make sure all the paperwork is in order.
