Colorado’s marijuana businesses should be eligible for federal coronavirus aid, Polis tells Congress
Marijuana Business, Stocks, Finance, & Investing April 14, 2020 MJ Shareholders 0
Colorado’s cannabis industry is allowed to remain open to provide “critical” services during the coronavirus pandemic, but because marijuana is a federally controlled substance, dispensaries and other businesses are ineligible to receive stimulus funds to help offset the economic impacts caused by COVID-19.
Many say they’re struggling.
Gov. Jared Polis, however, is hoping to lend a helping hand. On Monday, Polis sent a letter to Rep. Jason Crow, D-Aurora, a member of the House Small Business Committee, urging the committee to reconsider allowing cannabis businesses to apply for federal aid.
