Colorado: first state in country to finalise rules for recreational cannabis
16 September 2013
In 136 small-type pages, Colorado this week became the first state in the country to adopt final rules for recreational marijuana businesses.
The rules, released 9th of September, cover everything from cannabis shop licensing to inventory tracking to marijuana packaging to advertising. They also represent the most comprehensive effort to date to take the once all-illegal marijuana market and harness it into what supporters say will be controlled, refined legitimacy.
Applications to open a recreational marijuana store can be filed starting in October. The first stores are expected to open around January 2014.
