Here are the top stories today in Denver:

1. Loads of cash already pouring into Denver's 2023 municipal election. With less than nine months until Denver voters pick candidates for mayor and city council races, though its early, many of the early-in candidates have amassed large war chests of money. (Denverite)
2. Struggles aren't new to Denver's marijuana delivery businesses. Turns out delivering weed may not be as lucrative as some thought. Denver's thinking about reducing fees to help the companies that have been taking a stab at delivering cannabis. (KUSA)
3. Where is the hottest place in Colorado? You may think Denver's been abnormally hot lately, but have you been to La Junta lately? The annual average temperature in La Junta is 54.8 degrees. (FOX31)
4. LIME's new e-bikes arrive in Denver. LIME has recently upgraded its e-bike fleet to Gen4 model, that means that Denver is one of the first in U.S. to have these bikes. (9News)
5. Should 'magic' mushrooms be decriminalized in Colorado? Backers of Initiative 58 have turned in enough signatures to get the measure on the upcoming ballot this November. If passed, Colorado will be only the second state in the U.S. to decriminalize them. Denver voters passed similar legislation in 2019. (CO Sun)
