Revenue Medical Marijuana Site - Retail Marijuana Licensing Information

get in line to get your app done and completed by 1-1-14! 

A quick point of clarification on retail marijuana licenses and state tax ID numbers: 
If an applicant intends to co-locate the retail marijuana establishment with its existing medical marijuana business, then the applicant does NOT need to obtain an additional state tax ID.If an applicant does not intend to co-locate the retail marijuana establishment with its existing medical marijuana business, then the applicant MUST obtain an additional state tax ID prior to application with MED. Therefore, the MED will ONLY accept applications for non-co-located retail marijuana establishments if the applicant has a tax ID for the new location.
Hope this clarifies everything for everyone,
Jordan Wellington, Senior Regulatory Analyst
Marijuana Enforcement Division  (303) 866-3789

Business Licensing Center | City and County of Denver

DENVER: On October 1st, the State Marijuana Enforcement Division(MED) and Denver’s Department of Excise and Licenses (EXL) will start accepting applications for Retail Marijuana (RMJ) licenses. Earlier this week, we held a public meeting with all relevant City departments and the MED to explain the RMJ licensing process. We had a very large crowd and answered questions for a long time after the meeting ended. We know that many interested folks were not able to attend, and some of those who did have follow up questions. Therefore, we will be hosting additional meetings next Monday, Wednesday and Friday, September 23rd, 25th and 27th, at 10:00AM in Room 2.J.5 of the Webb Building. It’s on the same floor as Excise and Licenses, just down the hall. We will walk through our process again and then answer questions. Also, please check the EXL website on Monday night for the RMJ Application Form and the RMJ Policies and Procedures. Please forward this email to anyone you think may be interested. Thank you.

my recap of last mondays MED application meeting:

the good: if you turn in your application to MED by 10-31-13 and it is 100% complete and paid at time of application you are going to be considered as in by 10-1-13 for purposes of equal access to opening on 1-1-14, you must do a separate application for each location/entity being licensed but you can turn all applications in at the same appointment. the bad: businesses that are not eligible for recreational licensing can have their products "one time converted" by a medical client into recreational inventory thereby putting many manufacturers and sellers in the cross hairs for violations of local cannabis codes. The ugly: The franwell MITs system isnt done yet, and there isnt a backup plan for ANY cannabis sales per legislative directive as of 1-1-14 if it is not delivered in time.

I am deeply ashamed of Mason T on this one, the A64 team really dropped the ball legislatively during the session by abandoning the intent and desires of the voters who made the mistake of voting for 64, and now they are only backing these bloated bs taxes for their own political gain to pay back all the compromises made on the backs of cannabis lovers and true activists, not because the tax is fair or reasonable. A Few Words For Proposition AA Pothead Hypocrites - ColoradoPols.com coloradopols.com For Robert Corry to turn around and try to kill the taxes that resulted in many "yes" votes on Amendment 64 is exactly the bad faith outgoing Senate President John Morse warned of when he tried to link passage of these taxes to allowing retail marijuana stores to open in January. fwiw i voted no on 64 so i get to say what ever I want about these fucked up taxes.
