By signing the two bills into law Wednesday, Gov. Jared Polis put the ball in their court.<\/p>\n<p>The options are more likely to be embraced in cities such as Denver, which already has a small-scale social use licensing program, but they may be eschewed by more conservative places such as Colorado Springs, which lobbied the legislature for the chance to say no.<\/p>\n<p>Advocates and supporters of the bills greeted Polis with applause for the afternoon signings \u2014 not least because his predecessor, fellow Democrat John Hickenlooper, had publicly worried about previous versions of the bills. He vetoed a tasting-rooms bill last year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2019\/05\/29\/marijuana-delivery-tasting-rooms-colorado\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Read the full story on denverpost.com.
