It may be possible to consume marijuana in certain approved locations in Denver in the near future, after voters seem to have given Initiative 300 their approval in the latest Nov. 8 general election results provided by the Denver Elections Division.

The initiative would call for a cannabis consumption pilot project in Denver, where certain private establishments would allow adult marijuana consumption in designated areas, under city restrictions and guidelines. The city would only issue permits to establishments that have received formal support from their officially recognized neighborhood organization or business-improvement district.

Backers of I-300 claim it would cut public marijuana consumption by providing adults with private places where they can legally consume marijuana. Currently, visitors are prohibited from consuming marijuana in most Denver hotels, and many residents are unable to consume it in their homes because it is prohibited by their landlord or homeowners association. Other adults would simply prefer to consume at private establishments while socializing with other adults.

As of Wednesday evening, the initiative had received 111,858 votes in favor and 106,189 votes opposed, a 51-49 percent margin.

Meanwhile, two referred questions had received overwhelming support. Referred Question 2A would allow the city and county to keep and spend all revenues received from a 0.03 percent sales tax for the Denver Preschool Program through 2026. It was ahead by a 164,224 (76 percent) to 51,906 (24 percent) margin.

Referred Question 2B would amend the city charter to formalize the Office of the Independent Monitor and make it on par with most other city departments. It was ahead by a 145,820 (73 percent) to 54,284 (27 percent) tally.

Final unofficial results were expected to be released Thursday afternoon.
