DENVER GIVES OUT POT SALES LICENSES
DENVER ( AP ) - The first batch of Denver businesses approved to sell
recreational marijuana got their licenses Friday, the owners mugging
for pictures and saying they never thought they'd see the day when
they'd get a permit to sell pot.
Applause broke out and cameras whirred when the first license was
issued from the city's Department of Excise and Licenses. The city
awarded 14 licenses for retail shops, 17 licenses for pot growers and
three licenses for makers of cannabis-infused products such as pot brownies.
One businessman joked about getting arrested for having a joint at a
1971 Black Sabbath concert. Others shared hugs and stories about
marijuana's route to legalization.
