This role within the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) involves overseeing a team responsible for ensuring compliance with state regulations governing medical and recreational cannabis. Responsibilities typically include scheduling and coordinating audits of licensed marijuana businesses, reviewing audit findings, and providing guidance to staff on regulatory interpretation and enforcement. An illustrative example might be managing a team that conducts on-site inspections of cultivation facilities to verify proper tracking of plants from seed to sale, adherence to security protocols, and accurate record-keeping.
Effective oversight in this area is crucial for maintaining the integrity of Colorado’s cannabis industry. Rigorous enforcement of regulations protects consumers, ensures public safety, and fosters a level playing field for businesses. This regulatory framework emerged from Amendment 64 and Amendment 20, which legalized recreational and medical marijuana, respectively. The MED plays a pivotal role in implementing and enforcing these amendments, with the audit function serving as a critical component of this process.
