Marijuana social equity

Denver's marijuana social equity program reserves store, transporter, cultivation, manufacturing, and hospitality licenses for social equity applicants until July 1, 2027. There is no cap on the number of licenses available to social equity applicants.

Under the program, only social equity applicants may deliver marijuana to consumers. They must hold a marijuana transporter license and delivery permit issued by the City of Denver.
