Trinidad, Colorado dispensaries: 14 stores near the New Mexico line

North Commercial Street and the Santa Fe Trail

Five listed stores sit within a few doors on the 400 block of North Commercial Street: The Buzz at 409, Sugarloaf at 411, Magnolia Road at 413, Trinidad Gardens at 422 and The Underground Station at 439. Four more line Santa Fe Trail, at 110, 118, 1423 and 3140, and the others are on Main Street, Van Buren Street, Arizona Avenue and Independence Road.

• Zoning: under the city code stores need a conditional use permit in Community Commercial, Industrial or the Corazon de Trinidad Historical Preservation District. None may be in a residential zone or within 1,000 feet of a school.
• Who licenses: the City Council acts as the marijuana licensing authority.
• Grow fee: the code charges cultivators $25 per pound produced, a cost for growers, not shoppers.

Many visitors come from New Mexico, where legal stores exist but the state line is still a federal boundary: carrying cannabis across it is illegal even between two legal states. Buy what you will use in Colorado, in a private place. For the state's limits and taxes, see the Colorado guide.
