Help iBAKE Denver with Legal Fees
Donation protected
iBAKE Denver is the Denver Metro Areas 1st place to legally consume cannabis. It has been open for 3 1/2 years in Adams County Colorado (6125 Washington St. Denver, CO 80216 - www.iBAKEDenver.com)
Not long after cannabis became legal in Colorado (February 15th, 2013 to be exact), Thurlow "TL" Weed and his wife Littletree Oppy (LT) opened "The 24 Hour Pipe & Tobacco Shop, which soon became known as iBAKE Denver. During 2014 & 2015 during a time when "marijuana smoking clubs," "marijuana consumption sites" were being shut down, iBAKE Denver not only stayed open, but they even opened other locations!
iBAKE Denver is a membership pipe & tobacco shop, that allows it's members (who MUST be 21 or older with a valid ID) to consume cannabis onsite. When first opening up, the TL & LT were informed what to do to open up within the county, and they took care of everything they were suppose to according to the county.
Now 3 1/2 years after being open, after paying taxes, and bringing a positive impact to the surrounding community, Adams County has decided that they no longer want iBAKE Denver open, and they are trying to shut it down, siting that the proper use permit was never acquired to open at the location. They stated that they did not know that iBAKE was in business, and had they known they would have shut it down long ago.
The problem with this is they did know iBAKE was open! We have proof, from multiple Fire Inspections, minor code violations (that are listed on the public Adams County code violation website), to minor police contact at the shop. There is no doubt that Adams County knew that iBAKE Denver has been open for business.
We have found legal counsil and have retained the counsil, but there are still lots of more legal bills to pay. We are looking for donations that will help us to continue the fight to stay open. The county is shooting to have iBAKE Denver shut down in June 2016.
It's not right for a city, county or state government to close businesses down just because they don't care for the certain type of business.
You can see some of the documentation showing our "minor code violations," "news quotes from county officials/police officers about iBAKE Denver ," fire inspection reports and even an inspection report from the FDA Tobacco Products division, passing a retail tobacco shop inspection.
Here is a screen shot of the June 5th, 2014 "minor code violation" for banners hanging outside too long, and a freezer outside. If this is public record on the Adams County website, how can the county say they did not know iBAKE was there? Also if there were other violations (like the county claims now) how come they were not brought up two years ago with this violation?
