Midnight closing time for Denver marijuana shops? New council proposal floats idea

Denver may be ready to match some neighboring cities’ late-night closing times for marijuana stores.

A first-stab proposal set to be considered in a City Council committee Monday would extend the cutoff for sales from 7 p.m. to midnight. That’s the latest closing time that both Edgewater and Glendale allow for their pot shops.

Councilwoman Kendra Black says she is optimistic about the measure’s chances to get to the council floor, but it’s possible the members will settle on an earlier closing time. She chairs the marijuana special-issue committee that is set to consider her proposal.

“I do have support for extending the hours, and we have some who are in favor of 12 a.m.,” Black said. “I have others who are in favor of a time earlier than 12. … If we end up at an earlier time, then so be it.”
