Drive-thru weed could become a permanent fixture here if Denver City Council moves forward with an amendment to a local marijuana ordinance.
Created as a response to COVID-19 guidelines issued through Governor Jared Polis's executive orders at the start of the pandemic, takeout marijuana sales — through curbside transactions, as well as drive-thru and walk-up windows — are currently allowed in Denver. What started as temporary rules were permanently added to the state marijuana code on January 1 by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division, but local jurisdictions must opt into the MED's rules in order to continue takeout pot services after the pandemic.
