Overview
Colorado legalized recreational cannabis in 2012 (Amendment 64), with adult-use sales beginning January 2014—making it one of the first two states (with Washington) to establish a regulated market. As of January 2026, Colorado features mature infrastructure, competitive pricing, and over $2.6 billion in total tax revenue generated.
Adults 21+ can purchase from hundreds of licensed dispensaries statewide. Medical patients enjoy higher possession limits (2 oz vs 1 oz), additional purchase allowances, and access to medical-only products.
Taxes: 15% state retail marijuana sales tax + 15% excise tax on wholesale + local taxes (typically 3-8%). Total effective rates: 20-30% depending on city. Denver and resort towns have highest rates.
Consumption lounges have expanded in Denver since 2022 (Cirrus Social Club, Tetra Lounge, The Coffee Joint). Public consumption remains illegal, but these licensed venues provide legal alternatives for tourists. Cannabis-friendly lodging growing throughout the state.
Home cultivation: 6 plants per adult (3 mature), max 12 plants per household regardless of occupants. Public consumption prohibited—private property or licensed lounges only.

How Access & Delivery Work
Delivery is legal statewide but less widespread than California. Most consumers prefer in-store shopping. Some metro areas offer delivery with 1-2 hour windows while mountain and rural zones rely on in-store pickup.
Medical patients often get priority delivery options and expanded service areas. Minimums typically $30-50.
Major delivery operates in Denver, Boulder, and some Front Range cities. Mountain towns and resort areas are delivery-limited—plan to visit dispensaries in person. Verify licensing at colorado.gov/marijuana.
