A quick orientation to Colorado's data — what it means, what you can do with it, and how to help expand it.
What this is
DevCannabis normalizes Colorado's public cannabis regulatory data into one comparable, source-traced dataset. Every figure traces to a named government regulator, carries a confidence label, and links to the official report it came from — free to read, no login.
What is open here is the data, methodology, and sources. The application code is private and invite-reviewed: a vetted-contributor project under a controlled public-use license, with an open corrections log.
How to use this
- Read the verified facts — every headline metric shows its official source and a confidence label, so you can see how solid each number is at a glance.
- Download the verification CSV — export this state's published figures with each value's source label, confidence level, and a direct link to the government report. No login required.
- Cite a figure — use the “Cite this” button on any page to copy a source-anchored citation, pre-filled with the regulator, report date, and retrieval date.

How to contribute
DevCannabis is currently maintained by one person and is actively seeking contributors to expand state coverage. It is a private, invite-reviewed project, so there's a front door: visit /contribute — no GitHub account or prior access needed.
Sign in with email or GitHub, then request access along one path: submit official government sources, report a data correction, apply for developer or reviewer access, or ask about partnership. Adding a new state starts with a slim, reliable “spine” of statewide regulator data. Every request is reviewed manually — reviewer and steward roles are paths to earn, not seats already filled.
