Only Denver Accepting Applications for Recreational Marijuana Stores

Of Colorado’s 10 largest cities, only Denver is expected to start accepting applications for recreational marijuana stores.

Four major cities already have moratoriums on store applications and four other major cities in Colorado have banned them altogether. That leaves around 20 cities and counties likely to start accepting applications for the recreational marijuana stores. Stores could open as early as Jan. 1, 2014.

The cities expected to allow recreational marijuana stores feature a large number of resort communities such as: Breckenridge, Steamboat Springs, and Telluride.

It appears that the recreational marijuana industry in Colorado will be much like the medical marijuana industry, very Denver oriented.
