Colorado town getting marijuana shop with drive-up window

PARACHUTE, Colo. — The western Colorado town of Parachute is getting a marijuana shop with a drive-up window, believed to be the first in the state.

The Glenwood Springs Post Independent reported Saturday (http://bit.ly/2m1PZCA) the Parachute Board of Trustees approved a business license for Tumbleweed Express last week.

The business also had to get approval from the state Marijuana Enforcement Division.

The division says Tumbleweed Express cannot allow anyone younger than 21 on the premises, even in the back seat of a car. The business must also have security and surveillance and marijuana may not be visible from outside the dispensary.

Tumbleweed Express is expected to open in March.
