Alaska, which legalized cannabis through a 2014 ballot initiative, has considered, reconsidered, and most recently postponed action that would allow the establishments to exist. Officials are set to take up the debate again next year.

In Colorado, where public consumption isn’t addressed under state law, Denver voters last year passed a bring-your-own-cannabis measure that allows on-site consumption at licensed businesses. The locations can’t sell cannabis, however, and licensees aren’t allowed to serve alcohol. The city received its first application last week, and a public hearing is expected within two to three months.
