The business, located at 7667 Washington St. in Denver, is slated for an April 22 opening.<\/p>\n<p>Owner Josh Davis said he\u2019s an appropriate person to open this first-of-its-kind business. As founder and CEO of Legacy 64, he\u2019s spent five years helping other marijuana businesses in Colorado and beyond ensure they\u2019re in compliance with state and local laws.<\/p>\n<p>The Thornton resident hoped to apply his knowledge and skills to open a hospitality business, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2019\/12\/27\/denver-places-to-smoke-weed-public-social-use\/\">a model that was only legalized by Colorado regulators in 2019<\/a>. But when Adams County decided to do a lottery for licenses, Davis didn\u2019t land one of the coveted five that local regulators had allotted. He did, however, garner one of 10 \u201cbackup\u201d spots should the original five licensees fail to meet the county\u2019s timeline or criteria for opening, he said. (Despite its Denver address, JAD\u2019s is located in an unincorporated area of Adams County.)<\/p>\n<p>And it just so happened that was the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got the call literally a year ago,\u201d Davis said. \u201cI started doing a happy dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-slideshow\">\n<ul data-total=\"3\">\n<li data-index=\"1\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapper\"><img alt=\"JAD's Mile High Smoke is a ...\" class=\"lazyload size-article_inline\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/colorados-first-cannabis-bar-with-thc-beer-opens-this-week-in-denver.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/colorados-first-cannabis-bar-with-thc-beer-opens-this-week-in-denver.jpg 620w,https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TDP-Z-jads-03.jpg?w=780 780w,https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TDP-Z-jads-03.jpg?w=810 810w,https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TDP-Z-jads-03.jpg?w=1280 1280w,https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/TDP-Z-jads-03.jpg?w=1860 1860w\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"slide-credit\">Provided by JAD&#8217;s Mile High Smoke<\/p>\n<p class=\"slide-caption\">JAD&#8217;s Mile High Smoke is a 4,000-square-foot building outfitted with a TVs, arcade and video games, and a menu of cannabis products available for purchase and consumption onsite.

Davis has built out the 4,000-square-foot space to include televisions, as well as arcade and video games. An outdoor patio with artificial turf and a small stage to host bands and comedians during special events is currently under construction and expected to open by this summer, Davis said.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the weed menu, JAD\u2019s plans to serve flower, concentrates and edibles in various forms and offer all the necessary utensils for consumption. There are limits, however. According to state law, consumers can purchase up to two grams of flower, a half-gram of concentrate or 20 milligrams of edibles (served up to 10 milligrams at a time) during one visit.<\/p>\n<p>Those looking for a joint can order a gram pre-roll or a gram of flower with rolling papers for a DIY experience. JAD\u2019s will also serve flower with a silicone pipe that customers get to keep. Bongs, sanitized between use, will also be available to smokers, Davis said.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to smoke concentrate? JAD\u2019s has electric dab rigs to fit your fancy. Edibles include candies such as gummies and chocolate, as well as THC beer. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2020\/01\/22\/this-colorado-brewery-wants-to-be-the-face-of-nonalcoholic-beer-movement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ceria Brewing Co.<\/a>\u2019s Grainwave Belgian-style white ale and its Indiewave India pale ale, each with 5 and 10 milligrams of THC per serving, respectively, will be available in cans. That means you could have a pint or several within the limits of the law.<\/p>\n<p>Other offerings include vape cartridges, single-use vape pens, and THC-infused soda and sparkling water served on draft. Davis does not plan to sell topicals, as they do not fit with the bar\u2019s ethos.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"related right\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re selling the basic, \u2018I want to get high\u2019 supply,\u201d David said. \u201cI am giving recreational users a safe place to come in and consume marijuana. A safe place to come and get high, be relaxed, stay as long as you want or you have to because I\u2019m not going to let you leave inebriated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>JAD\u2019s will also have munchies to pair with the experience. Behind the bar, it will serve light snacks such as personal pizzas and hot dogs. Davis also plans to invite a rotating roster of food trucks to park in the outdoor area and sells eats.<\/p>\n<p>Davis\u2019 goal is not only to provide a safe and friendly place for recreational cannabis users to get high, but also to shatter the stigma associated with social consumption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m done with people hiding in the closet about smoking weed,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m trying to change the game, I\u2019m trying to show the world what the future of cannabis is like\u2026 While I\u2019m doing the first one, once I show people this can be done and it can be effective, there will be thousands of these.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/newsletter-signup\/in-the-know\">Subscribe to our weekly newsletter, In The Know, to get entertainment news sent straight to your inbox.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"media_block\"><\/div>\n<p>The owner of JAD&#8217;s Mile High Smoke invites you to experience the &#8220;future of cannabis&#8221; &#8212; a public space where you can purchase and smoke\/eat\/drink weed with like-minded individuals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8257,8397,6880,5062,52,5788,6811,376,2435,2559,8136,7938,4995,77,5577,7816,6853,6858,6886,9,5019,6845,6228,8082,1,3,18,7072,6923,1447,61,1736],"tags":[8261,8398,6881,5063,2632,5789,6816,2954,2436,2560,8138,7939,4996,2655,5580,7818,6854,6860,6889,5022,6846,6235,8083,2622,7073,6924,4016],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9498"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9498\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
