Request To Sell Pot-Themed Souvenirs At DIA Goes Up In Smoke

DENVER (CBS4) - An entrepreneur says Denver International Airport denied her request to sell pot-themed souvenirs at the airport.

Retired teacher Ann Jordan now makes items like socks and flip-flops with marijuana leaves on them. Some of the airport stores say they're interested in carrying her products.

Jordan says when she asked the airport, they shut her down.

"I think it's kind of crazy because I know you can buy a lot of other Colorado products there and this is part of our culture now, so it's a natural fit to me," Jordan said.

An airport spokesman admitted an employee turned down Jordan's request. The spokesman said DIA does not have a formal policy when it comes to selling pot-themed souvenirs. He said the airport is discussing the issue and will eventually make a decision.
