State statute authorizes the MED to issue four classes (types) of Retail Marijuana Business Licenses:
Retail Marijuana Store: facility from which any individual twenty-one years of age or older may purchase up to 1 ounce for Colorado Residents and 1/4 ounce for non-residents. Retail Marijuana may not be cultivated or processed under this license.
Retail Marijuana Product Manufacturing: used exclusively for the manufacture and preparation of retail marijuana products and concentrates. Retail Marijuana may not be cultivated or sold to retail customers under this license - all sales must be made wholesale to Retail Marijuana Stores. If this license class chooses to own and operate a cultivation facility it may not sale any of the retail marijuana that it cultivates except for the retail marijuana that is contained its products.
Retail Marijuana Cultivation: used exclusively for the cultivation of Retail Marijuana plants and the harvesting of Retail Marijuana. If not associated with a Product Manufacturer this licensee may sale Retail Marijuana to other cultivations, stores or product manufacturers within the Colorado Regulated system.
Retail Marijuana Testing Facility: facility that preforms testing and research on Retail Marijuana for other MED licensees.
