Colorado legalized medical marijuana through a citizens’ initiative passed in 2000 called Amendment 20, which amends the state constitution to authorize patients to use, possess, and be assisted by a caregiver. In 2010 Colorado’s second medical cannabis law, the Colorado Medical Marijuana Code (C.R.S. 12-43.3-101 et seq.), established a dual licensing system that regulates medical cannabis business at both the state and local level.
Who Oversees the CO MMJ Program?
Two state agencies oversee different aspects of the program. The Department of Public Health and Environment regulates the patient and caregiver registry, while the Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) of the Department of Revenue regulates dispensaries, cultivation, and manufacturing.
Colorado Sale Restrictions
The regulation of marijuana sales has defined purchase limitations for consumers. These limitations are outlined in the Colorado Dispensary Standard Operating Procedures.
Every business needs standard operating procedures to succeed and operate in a compliant manner. We have the following Colorado specific marijuana SOPs:
