Pit bulls remain banned Second vote by council not enough to override veto by Hancock BY ESTEBAN L. HERNANDEZ DENVERITE.COM
The CBD Suite carries a multitude of products ranging from tinctures and vapes, to skincare and edibles such as honey and spices. The shop also carries pet health-and-wellness products. Kiley and Bowers have set up what they call testing stations in the boutique-style shop. These are where people may sample various products in the store, such as lotions or gummies.
Denver’s pit bull ban will stay in place after City Councilman Chris Herndon on Feb. 24 failed to get enough votes to overturn Mayor Michael Hancock’s veto on the bill that Herndon had introduced in hopes of ending the ban. City council needed nine votes to overturn Hancock’s veto. It voted 8-5, so the veto held. Councilmembers Kendra Black, Candi CdeBaca, Jolon Clark, Herndon, Chris Hinds, Robin Kniech, Amanda Sandoval and Jamie Torres voted in favor of the veto override, which would have ended the ban. Councilmembers Kevin Flynn, Stacie Gilmore, Paul Kashmann, Debbie Ortega and Amanda Sawyer voted against it overriding Hancock’s veto. “These dogs do not bite at a greater propensity than others,” Herndon said before the vote; he cited experts who supported his bill and suggested the dogs aren’t more dangerous than other breeds. “I’m getting to a point where I’m running out of sources.” The measure would have allowed owners to register their dogs with several restrictions.

Nurturing a curiosity about CBD New CBD shop in Washington Park lets people test, discuss CBD products BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Jessica Kiley and Samantha Bowers realize people in Denver are curi-
ous about CBD. “We’re here to nurture that curiosity,” Bowers said. “A lot of it is trying it for yourself.” In early January, the two women opened their shop, The CBD Suite, in Washington Park at 1078 S. Gaylord St. to let people explore CBD. CBD is the abbreviated name for cannabidiol, which is found in cannabis plants. It is thought to help stop muscle and joint pain, promote muscle relaxation and relieve anxiety, among other ailments.
