If the initiative had passed (and it looked like it might), it would have allowed limited social marijuana use in businesses such as art galleries and bars.
The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws’ lead counsel Keith Stroup called the move “embarrassing” in a scathing essay. Drug reform activists in Denver — some whom had campaigned on behalf of the now-dead social use initiative — called the move “disappointing” and said they felt “lied to” and “used as a pawn in someone else’s backroom dealings with the government.”
