What to know about recreational marijuana in COS
In November, voters passed Ballot Question 300, a measure that would authorize existing medical marijuana licensees to apply and become licensed as retail/recreational businesses.
The measure faced some pushback over confusion with Ballot Question 2D, which would ban recreational marijuana stores in Colorado Springs through the city charter. However, Question 2D was opposed with 121,714 votes, and Ballot Question 300 passed with 130,677 votes. Question 300 was almost taken out once more when the City Council tried to pass a measure that would put the decision on the ballot again. The action was then deemed unconstitutional by a district court judge.
Now that retail marijuana has been approved, medical licensees must follow/be compliant with the following regulations:
prohibit any retail/recreational marijuana businesses within 1,000 feet of a public or private daycare, preschool, or K-12 school. The map below shows where marijuana dispensaries would not be able to operate:
prohibit the sale or transfer of retail/recreational marijuana to anyone under 21.
prohibit the sale or transfer of retail/recreational marijuana acquired in another political subdivision to a person under 21
prohibit possession of retail/recreational marijuana by any person at any public or private school, daycare, or preschool
Tuesday, April 15, marks the first day that stores could sell recreational marijuana.
As of Tuesday, 34 medical marijuana stores in Colorado Springs had received a license for recreational marijuana and were active, according to the City's business licensing records. Although retail marijuana is now legal, the City of Colorado Springs cannot accept any new Medical Marijuana Store applications.

NEW YORK - August 18, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Lineage, Inc. (NASDAQ: LINE) of a class action securities lawsuit. CLASS DEFINITION: The lawsuit seeks to recover losses on behalf of Lineage, Inc. investors who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud.

Follow the link below to get more information and be contacted by a member of our team: LINE investors may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (212) 363-7500. CASE DETAILS: The filed complaint alleges that defendants made false statements and/or concealed that: (a) Lineage was then experiencing sustained weakening in customer demand, as additional cold-storage supply had come on line, the Company's customers destocked a glut of excessive inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Company's customers shifted to maintaining leaner cold-storage inventories on a go-forward basis in response to changed consumer trends; (b) Lineage had implemented price increases in the lead-up to the IPO that could not be sustained in light of the weakening demand environment facing the Company; (c) Lineage was unable to effectively counteract the adverse trends listed in (a)-(b) above through the use of minimum storage guarantees or as a result of operational efficiencies, technological improvements, or its purported competitive advantages; (d) that, as a result of (a)-(c) above, rather than enjoying stable revenue growth, high occupancy rates, and steady rent escalation as represented in the registration statement, Lineage was in fact suffering from stagnant or falling revenue, occupancy rates, and rent prices; and (e) that, as a result of (a)-(d) above, Lineage's financial results, business operations, and prospects were materially impaired.
