Durango has 15 dispensaries licensed by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED). Adults 21 and older with a valid photo ID from any state can buy. Only 2 of the listings hold a medical license, and Durango has more stores than any other Western Slope town, Grand Junction included.
Durango is the biggest town near the Four Corners, in the Animas River valley with New Mexico south on US 550 and Mesa Verde, Cortez and the Utah and Arizona lines to the west. Most visitors come for the mountains and the San Juan National Forest, and that matters: federal land surrounds the town, and federal law bans cannabis there.

Cannabis Taxes in Durango
Every recreational purchase pays Colorado's 15% retail marijuana sales tax, and the 15% state excise tax is built into the shelf price. The Durango Herald reports that the City of Durango has no dedicated marijuana tax, so in-town stores add only regular local sales taxes. Stores on county roads may charge different local rates; the receipt shows them. Medical purchases pay the 2.9% state sales tax instead.
