Back when our state originally passed a law legalizing medical marijuana, every one of us all wondered how the licenses would be handed out.
Some states have separate licenses for growers plus retailers, however our state chose a vertically integrated market instead.
You can only apply to 1 single license which forces you to operate from seed to sale. If you want to be in the marijuana industry in our state, you have to own both a grow facility plus some form of storefront, even if it’s just digital with a delivery repair as well. There used to be more cannabis dispensaries that operated by delivery only, however that’s few plus far between as they have tried to get entrenched in the statewide market through storefronts in as many counties as they can reach. Occasionally the cannabis delivery services are prioritized because dispensaries can make more monthly sales by having additional storefronts open instead. It’s just hard when you like a particular weed contractor however their closest storefront location is over an hour away. With gas prices skyrocketing right now, it’s getting harder to justify these long car trips to these premium cannabis stores. I wish these marijuana companies would simply expand their presence throughout the state by getting several locations in every single county. Otherwise they need a wonderful cannabis delivery repair for clients love me who hate to drive long distances. The gas prices are hitting the dispensaries hard as well, so that’s why many have implemented delivery minimums or delivery fees for their cannabis delivery services. I understand they’re strapped for money right now as well.
