Program Description:
Colorado marijuana stores sold a record amount of marijuana in June 2015, a huge leap over the previous record set in March 2015. Recreational marijuana sales topped $50 million for the first time. Medical marijuana also had its biggest month in more than a year. Some owners reported seeing more than 300 customers a day. At the halfway mark of 2015, Colorado stores have sold nearly half a billion dollars in marijuana and paid about $60 million in taxes to the state.*

Clearly, the marijuana business is thriving in Colorado. But we as attorneys, accountants, business valuators, regulators, bankers and citizens still have a lot to learn about this fledgling industry.
Leaders in the field describe where we have been, where we are, and where we are headed, as Colorado leads the way-legally, administratively and financially.
