2012 was a historic political year in the United States. Amongst other headline news, our president came out in support of gay marriage, and marijuana was legalized in Colorado and Washington. Quick to take advantage of the new legislation, a marijuana nightclub, aptly named Club 64 (after the 64th amendment that legalized pot), has opened in Colorado.
The club will not sell marijuana, but will allow open smoking indoors for its members (who pay a small fee to frequent the joint). Surprisingly, marijuana advocates are divided on the topic. Many enthusiastic youngsters are in favor, while more seasoned vets of the pot fight criticize the club for tarnishing marijuana's reputation among the mainstream.
The idea of a marijuana club is akin to a social experiment. Most modern nightclubs rely heavily on alcohol, and the atmosphere that ensues is one of sloppy, belligerent debauchery. A marijuana fueled party could be an entirely different affair, and potentially one where music could be the core focus. At Club 64, alcohol will be served, but the focus is clearly on the reefer.
Marijuana has been linked to music ever since jazz made headway in the US. Since many of today's dance music artists are on the deeper side of things, this venue may provide a unique location to appreciate their music. We look forward to seeing how this venue, and others like it, get on.
DJ Cottonmouth has, of course, been named lifelong resident.
