Colorado and Washington state voters recently made the daring stride to decriminalize recreational weed use. In Colorado, a couple smaller businesses opened up "pot clubs," locations where people could take their private stash and consume it. The first pot club to open, however, didn't make a go of it, closing after just one day of operation.

Lease worked improperly

To be able to say "we can do whatever we want" to the government, many states will pass laws that go against federal regulation. Colorado and Washington voters did just that as they decriminalized the use of weed for recreational purposes.

Decriminalizing, for those who don't understand that there is a difference, is where a thing is lawful, but regulated. Legalization is the ablution of any regulation.

According to the Huffington Post, the White Horse Inn is a "pot club" in Colorado where people can go and bring their own pot to smoke together. The owner of the club was trying to get it opened on a short term schedule and accidently violated his lease rules in the process. These lounges are starting to pop up in Colorado. The White Horse Inn is just one of the two pot clubs publicized in Colorado recently.

Too excited to start

It is still illegal in Colorado and Washington to sell weed, but you can purchase a membership to a pot club still. All you have to do is consume your own supply while in the club.

Two opened recently, according to ABC, one called Club 64, in honor of Amendment 64, the Colorado law decriminalizing marijuana use, and another establishment known as the White Horse Inn, in Del Norte, Colo., a coffee shop-style operation with booths where patrons can indulge.

If White Horse owner Paul Lovato had waited 24 hours to open the business, he would have been fine. Since he opened early, he wound up getting evicted from the building by the owner. He was just a little eager to get started, according to the Huffington Post.

Not bad for other club

There are unsubstantiated rumors Lovato was distracted by the "like...total genius of Pink Floyd" while he was reviewing the contract's conditions. Again, it is unsubstantiated.

Club 64 might actually be a pretty good business. In fact, it does not have a permanent location. It rents out different areas and holds different events. Club members have to have ID proving they are 21 years old to buy in, according to CNN, but it is only $29.99 to become a club member.

If there's a Denny's nearby, it'll be rolling in dough after participants are done rolling doobies.
