I am a caregiver for more than 20 people and am looking at opening a dispensary for these folks, as well as I am a licensed MM user myself (broke neck & back). I want to open a dispensary in colorado and am trying to figure out what licenses are needed other than a business license. Like city, county, or other. Plus any permits that may be needed. I want to do this according to Amendment 20. and want to make sure all taxes are collected and paid. Any help anyone can offer would be of great appreciation.

Please respond only if you know what you are talking about or are a dispensary owner. Thank you!

Best Regards,

Vote 2 Legalize marijuana

If we vote to legalize marijuana, then thats no profit for us

I have a few buddies up in CO. One was going to start a dispensary, but he decided to just sell to them instead. He said it is a big pain in the butt to get up and running.

This may help you get started.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. I am now seeing how much a pain it is. I have already been to the link you provided, but thanks any way for it.

I stopped in at the Denver Department of Excise & Licenses and was told that when I apply for my business license they will help me to get the proper business license. But was also told that after I get my business license that I will also need to contact the following for more licenses & permits:

Health Dept.
Fire department.
Permit dept.
Zoning Department
Public Works Department
Treasury Division

or I can write or call for free :
Vic Grassman, Business Development Specialist,
at 720-913-1624 or victor.grassman@ci.denver.co.us
Who will help me through the process.

A lot of work for sure, not to mention looking over my shoulder for the Feds. once business is up and running.

I made over 15 calls to other dispensaries and they were all running an illegal operation. In other words none of them were licensed or carried the proper permits. As well they were rude and foulded mouth.

It almost seems like a grey area...
not legal nor illegal.

According to Amendment 20 it's all legal as long as you are the designated caregiver. What makes it illegal is when you set up shop in a commercial building with out the proper permits like zoning, fire, and health. Not to metion collecting & paying taxes as well.

I went out today and got my business license and paid for my first 6 months of rent on my store front and on the building where I'll be doing my grow.

The Zoning dept. will be issuing me my permits real soon. I also set up my appointments with the Fire Department and Health department and hope to pass with those folks as well. Still much more to do though, but I'm on my way!

Let me know how it goes. I plan on opening one in Michigan and could really use the help.
