Application instructions and resource documents now available on OCM's website
This afternoon, OCM posted application instructions and resource documents for anyone preparing to apply for a cannabis business license during the application window that opens next Tuesday, Feb. 18. The application window will remain open through March 14.
During this license cycle, OCM will accept applications both from verified social equity applicants and from any applicant seeking to participate in general licensing in the following license types: microbusiness, mezzobusiness, cultivator, manufacturer, retailer, wholesaler, transporter, testing facility, delivery service, and medical cannabis combination business. Applications for cannabis event organizer licenses will be accepted later this summer; applications for lower-potency hemp edible manufacturer licenses and lower-potency hemp edible retailer licenses will be accepted in the fall.
Cities or counties wishing to operate a single municipal cannabis store may apply for a retailer license during the application window. Municipal retailer licenses are not subject to a lottery.
Interested applicants are strongly encouraged to review this guidance, as well as Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 342, and additional information available on the OCM website prior to making any business decisions.
Attend an online informational webinar on specific license types
Beginning next week, OCM will host a series of virtual office hours to go over license types with interested individuals during the license application window. These virtual office hours will take place from 4-5 p.m. on the following dates. Registration is required. OCM cannot and will not provide legal or business advice to individuals. If you have a question about the licensure process and rules that you would like to be considered during the webinar, you must submit it with your registration.
