INTRODUCTION

It is not a secret that in order to operate your medical marijuana

dispensary, you need to get all the business licenses necessary

first.

Some individuals may feel at loss on how to start with the

application.

BASIC STEPS ON HOW TO APPLY FOR

A DISPENSARY BUSINESS LICENSE

1. Fill up the application form.

2. Determine which place is the best to open a dispensary.

3. Allow your fingerprints to be taken.

4. Wait for the result of the criminal background check.

5. Apply for a sales tax.

6. Comply with the other requirements.

FILL UP THE APPLICATION FORM

Visit the city website and check if they have a downloadable

form for the business license application.

If none, you have to visit the city clerk’s office personally to get

the application form.

Information that you are going to log on the application must all

be true because they are going to do a background check to

verify if they are all facts.

DETERMINE WHICH LOCATION IS THE

BEST TO OPEN A DISPENSARY

Not all areas are suit for a dispensary. There are some restrictions

with regards to this business establishment.

Speak to the relevant government office and determine which

place a dispensary is suited to be established.

This is something that you should remember when opening a

medical marijuana dispensary.

ALLOW YOUR FINGERPRINTS TO BE

TAKEN.

Allow your fingerprints to be taken at the city clerk’s office.

Aside from submitting the application form for a business license,

you also need your fingerprints to be taken.

Even the major caregivers who are getting license to use medical

marijuana are also required to submit their fingerprints for records

purposes.

WAIT FOR THE RESULT OF THE

CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK.

Wait for the result of the criminal background check that the

police department will conduct.

This is to ensure that the applicants do not have pending cases

on court and that they are law-abiding citizens.

It is also on this background check where they will determine if all

the information that you have used on the application form are

true.

One they found out that you have a pending criminal case on

court, one of your statement is not true, you might not be granted a business permit to operate a cannabis dispensary.

APPLY FOR A SALES TAX LICENSE.

Apply for an organization and a sales tax license.

Since you will be making some profit on your business, it is just but right to pay your tax to the government.

COMPLY WITH THE OTHER

REQUIREMENTS

Comply with the other requirements that are specified by the city

department.

The requirements per state or per county may differ from one another, so ask the city clerk if you have some missing

documents so that you can complete them as soon as possible.

WAITING PERIOD

After you have submitted your application form and all the

documents that come along with it, your application will be

reviewed by the city manager.

The decision whether you will be granted a license or not normally happens in a 30-day period.

If there are some issues that are encountered during the

evaluation period, approval of license may go beyond 30 days.

Once the evaluation has been completed, and you passed the

assessment, you will be notified through mail that you are

successful in getting a business permit.

You can then claim your business permit, and continue your

plans on opening a medical marijuana dispensary.
