Special Issues Marijuana
TL;DR
Denver's government approved new rules for marijuana businesses that were denied licenses or withdrew their applications. The new rules establish a one-year waiting period before these businesses can reapply for a license in the same area (within 1,000 feet). This aims to prevent rapid re-application attempts after rejections.
