Colorado MED-aware dispensary platform

Built for the Colorado operator who’s tired of carrying a POS that hasn’t shipped a meaningful change in two years. MED rules native — METRC integration, 15% special + 2.9% base + local stack with REASON-coded inventory adjustments, recreational/medical split where the regulator splits them. CO is the one state with a dedicated software-vendor reg (Vendor of Marijuana Services); we file it before your first day, not after a regulator nudge.

Regulator

Tax stack

Excise

15% retail marijuana excise (producer level) — pulled in via cost-basis.

Sales / Use

15% state special sales tax + state base 2.9% + local — typical 18-22% combined.

Local option

Local-option add-on varies by jurisdiction; auto-tagged per store address.

Compliance topics surfaced in-platform

Age 21+ rec / 18+ medical ID verification with split lanes
METRC tag → POS line item handoff with manifest reconciliation
Patient registry lookup hook (medical store profile)
Daily sales summary export shaped for MED record-keeping
Inventory adjustment categories aligned to MED reason-codes

What ships on day-1 for CO

Recreational + medical product lanes with separate tax stacks
REASON-coded inventory adjustments aligned to MED reason-code taxonomy (so audits cite the same vocabulary the regulator uses)
METRC-shaped inventory + sale receipt mirror
Local-option tax derivation from store address (no manual table maintenance)
Vendor of Marijuana Services registration discipline — CO operators have been burned by software vendors who weren’t registered + lost data-handoff continuity. MED’s VMS process is on our pre-go-live checklist so your audit trail isn’t our liability or yours.
Manager write-up assistant configurable to CO labor + MED rule taxonomy

We serve here — honestly

We don’t operate stores in Colorado. We do read the regs and the bulletins, and we’ve built CO support against the same compliance discipline we use in WA. If you’re a CO operator who wants a partner who treats your rules with the same weight as WSLCB, we’d like to talk.
