Marijuana Secure Transporter Licensing Requirements

With few exceptions, all transfers of marijuana or marijuana-infused product between one licensed facility to another must be handled by a licensed Secured Transporter. This includes Growers, Processors, Testing Facilities, and Retailers.

There are also different licenses that are required for both the medical and adult-use marijuana markets. Most Secure Transporters will want to ensure that they are licensed for both markets so that they can service all customers. Licensing fees are $25,000.
