“Marijuana dispensaries” are among the “critical” businesses in Colorado that are permitted to stay open under a stay-at-home order issued Wednesday by the governor.
Gov. Jared Polis’ order did not address whether recreational cannabis stores remain open, according to the Denver Post.
However, a source told Marijuana Business Daily that adult-use cannabis retailers can continue operating if they provide curbside service and medical MJ dispensaries must maintain a 6-foot social distance between employees.
Colorado joins several other states with such stay-at-home orders.
Most of the states allow medical marijuana operations to remain open, but not all of them allow adult-use businesses to keep selling their products.
Earlier this week, Denver’s mayor initially ordered liquor stores and adult-use marijuana shops to close during the pandemic but quickly reversed the order after lines formed around those businesses.
