The formulaic dispensary review writer penned this gem yesterday:

The new draft of the proposed ordinance gets rid of the language calling the smell of pot "open and public consumption," leaving odor complains [sic] under the purview of Environmental Health inspectors.

The draft must still be approved by the City Council. It would allow marijuana "possession," but prohibit "display and distribution" in parks and throughout downtown, expanding that area, which in the first draft had only included 16th Street Mall.

"Anyone is free to have marijuana in these locations; they are only prohibited from waving it around," Nevitt said in an email to other members of the council. The first Libertarian activist will start "waving around" marijuana in 10, 9, 8...

Compare that to the original:

The new draft of the ordinance eliminates the reference to smell as constituting "open and public consumption," leaving odor complaints to Environmental Health inspectors.

The draft that still must be approved by the City Council would allow marijuana "possession" but would ban "display and distribution" in parks and throughout central downtown, expanding the area from just the 16th Street Mall.

"Anyone is free to have marijuana in these locations; they are only prohibited from waving it around," Nevitt said in an e-mail to other councilmembers.

I emailed the Denver Post author yesterday, and perhaps coincidentally, this morning Elliott cut most of the article and modified more of the remaining words.
