Denver has become the first city in the United States to legalise the social use of Cannabis in businesses, including bars, yoga studios and art galleries.
The new ordinance was part of several marijuana measures put to voters in nine US states during last week's general election.
Denver officials said on Tuesday Nov 15,2016 that Initiative 300 had garnered enough votes to pass after nearly all the ballots had been counted
The measure allows private businesses in Colorado's capital to seek permits to create areas where customers can bring their own cannabis and consume it.
However, applicants would first need to receive backing from a local business group or neighborhood.
“This is absolutely historic and ground-breaking,” said Emmett Reistroffer, a key proponent of the measure and a cannabis consultant in Denver.
“We are the first in the United States and potentially the first place in the world to regulate the consumption of cannabis.”
