How To Apply For A Cannabis License

Get Your License Application Right The First Time

Due to the newness of this industry, the regulations and laws surrounding it are always changing. It is normal to underestimate how complex and detailed the cannabis licensing application process is for businesses. Applying for and obtaining a license in your province is the first hurdle, and the stakes are high. You might only have one chance at applying for a license, so success is your only option.

Prepare Early To Win A License Early

Once the final draft of your province’s regulations has been completed, it is time for you to be prepared and determined to be one of the early winners of a license. Provinces usually only award a few licenses to winners in the first round and then wait several years before allowing for more businesses. Additional licenses may not be issued until the program has matured and been evaluated. There is also the chance that legislation can change; as such, regulations will follow suit.

Create a Bulletproof Business Plan

Applications are assessed in great detail. Regulators remain concerned about the legalization of both adult-use cannabis & medical marijuana and are scrupulously evaluating all aspects of your business plan, your team, and your ability to create an outstanding case for your business license.

Further complicating the process, each province has its own, unique licensing requirements. For example:

1) Some may only allow dispensaries to sell cannabis they grow themselves

2) Others require separate licenses for cultivation and dispensing

3) The regulatory framework for processing cannabis varies by provinces
