Licensed facility

Licensed cannabis facilities are cultivation sites, processors and dispensaries that closely adhere to all relevant state and local regulations in order to legally grow, process, or sell marijuana and marijuana products. Earning a cannabis business license requires strict compliance with extensive application requirements, fees, security rules, seed-to-sale tracking protocols, testing standards, packaging and labeling laws, inventory limits, and more. Going through the licensing process ensures these businesses meet high standards and gives the state oversight for public safety. Consumers can easily verify a facility's current licensed status by checking state license databases. Purchasing products through legal licensed channels also supports local businesses that invest in their communities. Most importantly, only visiting properly licensed dispensaries guarantees products meet rigorous testing and content standards for a safe, high quality experience.
