The Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) issues licenses based on the type of cannabis activity that your business will perform. If you will do more than one activity, you may need more than one license.
You must have a valid DCC license before performing any commercial cannabis activity, including:
- Growing cannabis (cultivation)
- Transporting cannabis (distribution)
- Making cannabis products (manufacturing)
- Testing cannabis or cannabis products (testing laboratory)
- Selling cannabis (retail)
- Holding an event where cannabis will be sold (event organizers)
When you know what license type you need, DCC has resources to help you learn:
- The license application requirements
- How to apply for a license
- How the DCC licensing team reviews applications
- How to renew a license
