Denver International Airport (DEN) has a number of smoking lounges, something I've never seen in any other airport anywhere in the States.
Are those lounges allowed to sell cannabis, since it's now all legal in Colorado?

No, they are not. The airport is supposedly under federal jurisdiction (according to a DEN employee), and the federal government does not allow such sales to take place. Thus, all smoking lounges in DEN are cannabis-free.
Apparently, according to an employee within DEN, some people do manage to get past the security and into those lounges with their own pot, but, they're not allowed to keep at it, either.
