The city of Denver is moving to suspend the license of Vibe Smoke Shop after inspectors found multiple violations over the last few months. These violations include selling tobacco products to minors, selling banned flavored nicotine vapes, and possessing alcohol on the premises without a liquor license. The Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection issued a suspension order on Tuesday, ordering the shop to immediately stop selling tobacco products. The investigation revealed that undercover investigators found the shop selling products to minors and that a worker failed to check a youth operative's ID. Additionally, the shop was found to have sold Kratom to a 17-year-old boy, leading to a complaint about addiction. Despite destroying the products in question, the shop continued to sell non-compliant Kratom and THC products. Inspectors also found bottles of beer, whiskey, and vodka in the shop, despite it not having a liquor license. The owners have been ordered to attend a hearing on June 26 to present evidence to prevent their license from being suspended or revoked.
