GANJA GOURMET: WHERE YOU NEVER WANT TO STOP EATING

Despite the legal uncertainties surrounding medical-marijuana
dispensaries, Steve Horo witz is plowing ahead with Colorado's first
marijuana restaurant.

Ganja Gourmet, a restaurant that serves pot-laced food, has opened at
1810 S. Broadway in a building that Horowitz owns.

In addition to the "Bud Bar," where marijuana leaves are sold to
licensed consumers, Ganja Gourmet offers lasagna, pizza, hummus,
brownies, fudge and a variety of cheesecakes. Since the building does
not have a kitchen, all menu items are cooked in a rented commercial
kitchen and reheated in the restaurant's microwave.

"I decided I want to open a cafe that's a fun chill place and
specialize in edibles," Horowitz said. "None of the other
dispensaries have a friendly and chill atmosphere."

But what happens if stricter regulations are adopted on either the
city or state level and customers aren't allowed to munch on
marijuana-filled food at dispensaries?

"It would be unfortunate, but it won't be the end of the world,"
Horowitz said. "At least 50 percent of sales are products to go.
We'll just offer all the food to go."

Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
