Colorado Springs to Vote Again on Recreational Marijuana Sales in April

3 February 2025

Colorado Springs voters will decide—again—whether to allow recreational marijuana sales after the City Council approved a measure to put a repeal vote on the April 1, 2025, municipal ballot. This follows a November 2024 election where 54% of voters supported legal recreational cannabis sales at existing medical dispensaries. City leaders argue that ballot language confusion warrants a re-vote, but industry advocates call the move undemocratic. The potential repeal could cost the city an estimated $10 million in annual tax revenue and disrupt plans for cannabis businesses.
