What’s the T on Cannabis Cup 2016?

Adams County commissioners just rejected a permit for April’s High Times Cannabis Cup, the marijuana fair that coincides with the 4/20 pot celebration rally in downtown Denver. Commissioners unanimously denied the Denver Merchandise Mart a permit for the April 16-20 event.

“From a safety perspective, I have serious concerns about this event and this venue,” Adams County Sheriff Michael McIntosh told the commission. He wasn’t the only police officer to note this, with taking testimony from several law enforcement officials who warned that there were too many people sampling too many cannabis products openly.

Denver Mart co-owner John Doyle told the commissioners a new set of rules had been drawn up for this year to control crowd size, with a cap of 15,000 daily visitors imposed. Which would cut the attendance down drastically, as nearly 35,000 attended the cup each day last year.

Also, the Mart would have required attendees to park in several off-site parking areas and take a shuttle to the event, which is held at 451 East 58th Avenue, so as to control traffic tie-ups at the event.
