After Adams County commissioners last week rejected the permit for this year’s U.S. Cannabis Cup in Colorado, organizers are scrambling to find a new home for the event — and it looks as if High Times’ largest marijuana-minded party might be leaving the Denver metro area in 2016.
Cup organizers and Pueblo County property owners Tom and Anna-Marie Giodone told The Cannabist that the 2016 U.S. Cannabis Cup will take place April 16-18 near Pueblo, Colo. — a steel town 114 miles south of Denver known for its now-burgeoning marijuana industry.
Pueblo County officials on Monday had no comment on the status of the Giodones’ special event application, but they did release a statement Monday night.
“Pueblo County Planning & Development Department received a Special Event Permit application by Tommy G Productions for an event beginning on April 16, 2016 and ending on April 20, 2016. On Monday, February 22, 2016, when the Pueblo County Planning & Development Office learned that Tommy G Productions was not the event promoter, P&D asked that the application be revised and portions of the application be re-submitted by the true applicant High Times.” [Read more at the Cannabist at The Denver Post]
