Obtaining dispensary licenses is a process. There are challenges, but jumping through hoops and overcoming hurdles gets you in shape for what’s to come right? While obtaining a license is time consuming and can be pricey, the actual process is fairly straightforward.
In fact, State cannabis control boards or similar authorities usually provide ample resources and information to help applicants. Just remember, slow and steady wins the race. Planning carefully ahead avoids common pitfalls along the way.
To proceed with securing a recreational or medical license to retail cannabis, interested parties must navigate the state’s system to apply for a retail cannabis license. Typically, this involves providing detailed information to the state. So, learn what you need ahead of time and get ready to present it professionally. Get a copy of the application for your respective state, because that is the best place to start.
Some states offer programs to create equal opportunities in cannabis licensing so be sure to look for them. Make sure to search for those social equity opportunities and don’t hesitate to ask if you cannot find anything in the state licensing authority information online.
Each State offers unique options and regulations regarding legal marijuana sales. Some states have closed the application process temporarily, but will open again soon. Others are still in the process of creating regulatory guidelines. In any event, everything starts with learning where recreational and medical retail marijuana stands in your state.

All states that offer recreational cannabis sales also make provisions for medical marijuana access as well. In Washington for example, this requires licensed recreational cannabis shops to also obtain a “Medical Endorsement”. This requires staff to complete extra training related to medical marijuana.
Also, in Washington, medical users must register on a database in order to be considered a medical user, with current prescriptions by a licensed medical practitioner.
However, each state sets its own rules and regulations for medical sales.
As related to cannabis, “vertical integration” refers to respective license holders being the grower, processor, and retailer all under one license.
Some states require vertical integration, while for others it is optional. In Colorado for example, the state started with vertical integration as a requirement for the retail location. For example, each shop had to grow and process and package its own products for sale. However that has changed due to demand and enhanced oversight of production and processing.
Since all states started with medical marijuana, including states that now offer recreational retail sale, the term “dispensary” is still used interchangeably. However, it is more accurate to describe states that offer only medical marijuana as having “dispensaries” and recreational sales states offer “shops” or “stores”
