Delaware officials are now officially accepting applications for the state’s first adult-use marijuana business licenses, weeks ahead of schedule. In fact, Friday’s launch comes days in advance of an already-shortened timeline that regulators had put forward earlier this month.
The Office of the Marijuana Commissioner (OMC) announced that it is taking applications for recreational cannabis retailers, cultivators, manufacturers and testing facilities, about two weeks earlier than the September 1 timeline that officials had initially committed to before first moving up the date to August 19.
The deadline to submit applications is September 30, with eligible submissions then being entered into a lottery set to take place in late October. Licenses will be issued to the winners beginning in November.
A total of 125 licenses will ultimately be issued, including 30 retailers, 60 cultivators, 30 manufacturers and five testing labs. Earlier this month, regulators also detailed what portion of each category is reserved for social equity applicants, microbusinesses and general open licenses.
Applications are now officially open!
Reminder, the application deadline is September 30, 2024
