A S K A S T O N E R BY HERBERT FUEGO Dear Stoner: Could a golf course in Colorado open a dispensary on the grounds? I saw an Instagram post about a mini-dispensary on the ninth hole, and I’d love to have that op- tion in Colorado. Arnie King Palmer Dear Arnie King Palmer: I’ve seen a lot of de- bauchery on the golf course, much of which is proudly shared on social media. A dispen- sary at the clubhouse or on the ninth hole lines up well with those substance-fueled days on the links, especially in Colorado and other places where cannabis sales are legal. Plenty of golfers are hitting joints and vape pens on the course, so why not make money off us? One course in Kingston, Washington, was able to open a small dispensary that’s gone viral on social media, so it is possible in other states. Adding a dispensary to a Colorado golf course isn’t easy, however, as properties with liquor licenses are banned from allowing cannabis sales or consump- tion here — and that’s still not counting the complex insurance policies involved. Until state laws change, we’re a long way from having licensed pot sales at Colorado golf courses. As if I need one more thing to overpay for, anyway. Dear Stoner: I’m trying to sell my home in Aurora, and I’ve unintentionally left my pipe or stash out a few times. I can tell the realtor is annoyed, and I get it, but is that really going to stop someone from buying my place? On the Market Dear On the Market: As far as realtor re- quests, this is very tame. Why make any- thing harder on yourself in this market? It’s hard enough to sell a home in the Denver area for asking price as it is, let alone in Aurora. You shouldn’t just keep a clean house before each showing. You should bake a fresh batch of cookies before each potential buyer arrives, and try every other subliminal trick out there. As someone who pops a chub after smell- ing dank weed in public, I’d be very turned off by a dirty pipe and weed jars during a home tour, too. What other surprises do you have awaiting buyers in your cabinets? How backed up is your garbage disposal? Buying a new house is a huge decision, and people will walk away over the smallest things.
