DENVER — With reggae music pumping in the background and flashing disco-style lights, members of the recreational marijuana club lit up in celebration of the new year — and a new place to smoke legally among friends.
Club 64, in an industrial area just north of downtown Denver, opened at 4:20 p.m. on Monday, with some 200 people signed up. The opening came less than 24 hours after organizers announced they would charge a $29.99 admission price for the bring-your-own-marijuana club.

"marijuana dens"? pathetic. Why must the Globe continue to embarrass themselves with this 1920's-style Reefer Madness campaign?
The Globe editorialized against stopping marijuana arrests in Mass. We approved it 65-35%.
The Globe editorialized against allowing sick people to use marijuana. We approved it 63-27%.
Now, even with a new editor, the Globe trudges stubbornly along the old, worn-out path of classist propaganda. Marijuana "dens"? Are you kidding me?
Why? Why must we continue this crusade against some imaginary class of people - just because they choose Cannabis over the Globe's preferred alternatives of alcohol, tobacco, and prescription drugs?
Yes, it was just a year or two ago that the Globe ran a splashy series in the "G" section on the new popularity of liquor martinis that are made as versions of children's treats - like sno-cone, lemonade, etc, except with 3 or 4 shots of liquor.
Fortunately you won't have to go into a "booze den" to order your liver-destroying drug of choice. The Boston Glove approves of alcohol and the 100,000 deaths it causes per year. Of course cannabis is not lethal through overdose or long-term use.
Here's something the new Globe editor might like to consider, when tempted to smear innovative new cannabis entrepeneurs.
