The crime rate in Denver has significantly declined since legalization. Still, robberies target dispensaries due to large amounts of cash on the shops’ premises.

As cannabis commerce grows exponentially, ancillary business opportunities naturally appear. Food safety has been the talk recently; as the edible industry gains popularity, people want to know more about how products are infused and where ingredients come from…beyond the medicine they contain.
