Welcome to the Natural Medicine Division
The licensing and regulation of natural medicines in Colorado falls under two state agencies: the Department of Revenue (DOR) and the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).
The Natural Medicine Division in the DOR licenses and regulates natural medicine businesses – healing centers, cultivations, manufacturers, testing facilities, and their owners and employees.
DORA licenses and regulates facilitators of natural medicine services. Folks interested in becoming a licensed facilitator may visit the DORA Natural Medicine web page for more information on licensing requirements.
Current Natural Medicine Rules (effective Oct. 1, 2024)
If you have general or license application questions, please email the Division at dor_naturalmedicine@state.co.us.
