Dual-Use Dispensaries In Colorado Technically Non-Compliant for Past Two Years
“They’re out of compliance because of legislative oversight, not business practices”
A legislative gaffe has made dispensaries selling both medical and recreational marijuana non-compliant with the law for the past two years, according to the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division.
Selling medical marijuana and recreational marijuana require separate state licenses in Colorado, with approximately 575 dispensaries currently permitted for both by the MED. And all of them are technically running afoul of the state’s rules.
“They’re out of compliance because of legislative oversight, not because of their business practices,” Representative Edie Hooton told a House committee on February 16.
A 2019 law that resulted from an extensive sunset review of state marijuana industry regulations merged medical and recreational pot codes, but the bill’s drafters accidentally left out the paragraph for dual-use dispensaries, or co-locations, according to Representative Matt Gray.
