We have an important update regarding the previously announced plan to “merge” Colorado Leads with the Marijuana Industry Group (MIG).

On Friday afternoon, leaders of MIG announced they have decided to wind down MIG and cease operations. As a result, we will not be moving forward with the plan to combine the two organizations. While this development was unexpected, it has reinforced Colorado Leads’ commitment to advancing the business of cannabis in Colorado with strong, responsible leadership and a unified voice for our industry.

• We are moving forward at full steam and will actively encourage MIG members and other businesses to consider membership in Colorado Leads. You can assist in this effort by reaching out to the business leaders you know and encouraging them to consider joining. Just ask them to complete this form to let us know they are interested, then our team will take it from there. This collaborative effort will ensure we are well-positioned to represent the diverse needs and priorities of our industry with one strong and unified voice.
• The critical 2025 legislative session is now underway, and our lobbying efforts are focused on protecting and advancing the interests of our members and the broader marijuana community in Colorado. We anticipate and are prepared to fight hostile proposals from prohibitionist groups, and we are moving forward with legislation to roll back frivolous and burdensome regulations, reduce the cannabis excise tax, and bring purchase limits in line with possession limits.
• We are postponing the event Colorado Leads and MIG had scheduled for January 30 and will soon announce plans for a February legislative reception that will bring together current and prospective Colorado Leads members, policymakers, and other business and community leaders.

We remain confident in the resilience and strength of our industry and look forward to continuing to work with you to build a sustainable, thriving future. Together, we will ensure that the cannabis industry remains a vital part of Colorado’s economy and community.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions or would like more information about our plans moving forward, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
