What is a Marijuana Microbusiness?
A Marijuana Microbusiness License is a new cannabis business license that is exclusive to the adult-use (recreational) marijuana market.
A Marijuana Microbusiness License permits the business to:
- Cultivate up to 150 plants;
- Process and create marijuana-infused products from those plants; and
- Sell marijuana and marijuana-infused products that are produced by the microbusiness to adults age 21 and up
In other words, the microbusiness is a small-scale, vertically-integrated facility. The microbusiness is a unique and interesting opportunity for existing medical caregivers who are looking to transition into the commercial market.
Limitations of a Microbusiness License
The Marijuana Microbusiness License does have some limitations that interested investors and entrepreneurs should be aware of when considering licenses.
These limitations may include:
- Microbusiness licensees cannot own or have an interest in any other adult-use marijuana business.
- Microbusinesses cannot sell their marijuana products to any other licensed marijuana business.
- Microbusinesses cannot purchase marijuana or marijuana-infused products from any other licensed marijuana business.
In other words, microbusinesses are limited to generating revenue exclusively off the products that they produce and sell at retail at their location. That means microbusinesses should ideally seek to operate in locations that do not currently have convenient retail access to marijuana.
