Start with its current licensing information when checking a Denver listing; the presence of a card in a directory is not an approval by that regulator. [\[1\]](https://med.colorado.gov/data-and-resources) Open the [Denver catalogue](/weed/united-states/colorado/denver) to compare addresses. Use the map or nearest-venues option for the journey, then check the current information for the premises you selected. ### Before setting off Ask the chosen premises about its licence, retail or medical service, accepted ID, hours and current menu. Match the reply to the exact shop address before travelling. - Match the exact address, not only the business name. - Check the opening hours for the day of the visit. - Contact the venue if an access condition or the listed service is unclear. ### Does buying at a store mean I can consume there? Ask separately about on-site use and consult the local consumption rules. A purchase appointment does not establish permission for the premises, hotel, street or park. ### If the information does not match Save the official source and the venue’s reply. Use the listing’s correction option for an incorrect address or hours. Read the local purchase and consumption dimensions separately; this visit guide helps you choose and verify a next step, while the linked rules explain its conditions. ### Sources - [Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division — licensee lookup and licensed facilities](https://med.colorado.gov/data-and-resources)
