Minnesota Now Accepting Applications for Prospective Cannabis Businesses
The state of Minnesota is now accepting applications!
The Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management opened applications for most business license types on Tuesday. Anyone seeking to open a dispensary may apply for a license now through March 14, and applications are also open to cities wishing to establish a municipal cannabis store.
“Getting licenses into the hands of business owners is our priority and today marks another step towards opening Minnesota’s cannabis market,” OCM Interim Director Eric Taubel said in a statement. “There is a great deal of interest from business owners who want to get started in this new space. We’re looking forward to working with applicants to take the crucial next steps in becoming licensed so they can make their businesses a reality.”
Additionally, 210 social equity applicants who made it through the preapproval process and applied for licenses not capped by state statute will receive instructions for completing the licensing process. Social equity applicants who complete this process could receive their licenses once rule adoption is finalized, possibly this spring, according to the OCM.
