I started thinkin, when the state wide moratoreum went into effect there were roughly 1100 despensaries, infused products, and optional cultivation premises total in the state. So thats it, thats all we had to work with from the jump.
The state told me that they rejected right at 30% of all the applications due to tax and funding issues alone, Boulder says it rejected about 30% on tax and criminal background issues, Fort Collin, Loveland, Windsor, Westmienster, Greeley, Longmont, etc... out and out banned them so there is another 50 or so gone, 23 letters went out in Denver to pack up and move or go out of business..
In Denver there were somewhere around 384 despensaries and optional cultivation facilities when this all started, whats the count now? Colorado Springs same thing, there were something like 141 total applications, how many are left or are even in consideration...El Paso county pretty much shut everything down outside the cities, same with Weld, Summitt, Adams...
I know alot of people that started the process three or so years ago that still have pending applications but have long since shut down and moved on to other states and opprotunities..
So how many of the original 1100 or so total applicants are still really playing the game and hope to actually get a state liscense? if you do the math there should be only about 200 or so state wide that are even still in the running...keep in mind that there have been no new applications excepted in the last three years and no new ones are even to be considered until July of this year, which my guess will be extended another year..also keep in mind that when a depsensary or infused product liscense is denied, it also wipes out the optional cultivation facility application and/or your infused product liscense also, so there are a minimum of two rejections per operation and some have many, many that would be effected.
It would crack me up if when it was all said and done there were like 60 really in the game and moving forward operations state wide and everyone else was just slingin this whole time
Just curious..
