Colorado has 687 licensed cannabis dispensaries: 8.9% of the US total of 7,724. That ranks #6 by count and #4 per person (11.53 per 100,000 residents) of 51.
Source: State cannabis regulators’ licence lists (16 states and DC), September–October 2026. Every active retail or dispensary licence on each state’s published list, one point each. Medical dispensaries count where those are what the state licenses. Not a national total: legal states without a usable public list (Washington among them) are missing.
Licence: Public records from each state regulator
