Colorado Marijuana Sales Fell for Fourth Straight Year in 2025
The first green zone appears to have dried up.
The first green zone appears to have dried up.
It’s the seventh recall issued for Colorado cannabis in 2026, and the eleventh in the last three months.
According to a memo from state cannabis officials, operators have been caught diluting extractions that failed pesticide testing, among other shady moves.
All four notices were related to different products and contaminants, with the dates of sale ranging from November 2024 to January 2026.
Both recalls list the same pesticide.
This is the first cannabis recall of the year, but it’s the eighth in just over two months.
Solid way to end the year.
It’s been another hard year for the Colorado cannabis industry.
They’re the latest in a string of recent recalls from the state, which has issued sixteen so far in 2025.
It’s the state’s fourteenth recall of the year, and the third in three weeks.
In 2020, dispensaries sold almost $445 million from July to August. That’s a far cry from what they did this year.
The flagged products were sold from June to November of this year.
Nearly all of the affected stores are located in the Denver area.
A 25 percent reduction in growers didn’t stop legal weed prices from hitting rock bottom again.
There are well over 100 dispensaries in Denver alone, so finding the right one can take time.
