Hype was low earlier this week in Aspen Col., site of the 2016 Winter X Games. The reason? An event promoter's plan for a marijuana vaporizer party has been shut down by police. The event was pegged to occur at Turks, a music club in Snowmass.

Snowmass Village police chief Brian Olson said the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement office must cancel the party, According to the Bristol Courier-Herald. Colorado marijuana laws prohibit smoking marijuana in public. While the event promoter planned it as a private event that would require wristbands, the party would still fall under the category of "public."

Tim Lucca, owner of Turks, was initially excited about the opportunity. "[The event promoter] wanted to rent my patio to do a cannabis vaporizer event for X Games," Lucca told the Aspen Daily News, "I said I'd love to do it, I'd love to bring some X Games action up here."

"There's no way to make the scenario non-public," said Olson, "You can't create a private scenario in there and that's what they were trying to do with the one day membership."

"I don't see [marijuana use] coming into a public place until the state creates a licensing function that allows for a café ordinance," Olson continued, referring also to measures that have been proposed in a Denver suburb where a business called iBake Englewood runs a legal smoking lounge.

Colorado Amendment 64, voted on by the people of Colorado in November 2012 allows adults aged 21 and up can grow up to six plants in a confined, private space, and consume weed in a manner similar to alcohol. Despite the successful vote three years ago, controversy continues to surround Colorado Marijuana legislation, according to FOX 31 Denver.
