Colorado State Occupational Licensing

Well, we all knew that the Department of Revenue: Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division was going to require occupational licenses for employees working in this industry. They finally released the application and I urge all medical marijuana businesses to being submitting these occupational license applications for all employees.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact your attorney!

Moratorium Extension stripped from Colorado Bill!

Great news for those trying to get their foot in the door in the Colorado medical marijuana industry. The Colorado Senate has stripped the provisions in HB1043 that would have extended Colorado's moratorium on new businesses for another year.

This would have meant that only those businesses that were licensed by their local jurisdictions by July 1, 2010 would have been able to continue the application process. During this application process, those businesses are allowed to remain open and available to their patients.

With the extension stripped, the moratorium on new medical marijuana businesses will expire on July 1, 2011. We still need to see if HB1043 passes, but if it does, then it is open season for new medical marijuana businesses!
