6.8 Licensed cultivators

This information is based largely on state-supplied resources and is up-to-date as of July 2022.

6.8.1 Canada

Canada's cultivators are licensed by the federal government. The country has 87 full cultivation licenses, which can be viewed on their licensed cultivators, processors, and sellers page. A variety of fees are applied to applicants, including application fees, security clearance fees, import/export fees, and annual regulatory fees. Consult the country's Cannabis Fees Order Guide for details.


6.8.2 United States

Alabama:

With the approval of a medical cannabis program, the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission notes that it will begin to accept applications for cultivator processors on September 1, 2022.[1]


Alaska:

The state boasts 115 Limited and 132 Standard Marijuana Cultivation Facilities. The state differentiates a "limited" facility as one with 500 square feet or less of grow operation space, whereas "standard" facilities have no such limitation.[2] To review the entire list of 200+ cultivation facilities, go to https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/amco/ and look for the link "Licenses and Applications by Status."

Licensing fees for new limited facilities are $1,000, and $5,000 for standard.[3]


Arizona:

The government ties cultivation to dispensaries. However, Arizona state law prohibits making public a list of dispensaries, so the state's cultivators/dispensaries are not publicly known.[4]


Arkansas:

The eight cultivation facilities for Arkansas are[5]:

  • Bold Team, LLC (Cotton Plant)
  • Carpenter Farms of Grady, LLC (Grady)
  • Delta Medical Cannabis Co. (Newport)
  • Good Day Farm Arkansas, LLC (Pine Bluff)
  • Natural State Medicinals Cultivation, LLC (White Hall)
  • New Day Cultivation, LLC (Hot Springs)
  • Osage Creek Cultivation, LLC (Berryville)
  • River Valley Production, LLC (Fort Smith; DBA River Valley Relief Cultivation)

The eight facilities were licensed after paying a $100,000 license fee and a $500,000 performance bond.[6]


California:

The state of California has nearly 3,000 unique cannabis adult-use and medicinal-use cultivators of provisional and annual status. As of January 1, 2019, the state no longer has the authority to issue temporary licenses, though normal adult-use and medicinal-use cultivation licenses can still be applied for.[7] To review the entire list of more than 850 unique cultivation businesses (note: some companies have more than one license), go to https://aca6.accela.com/CALCANNABIS/Cap/CapHome.aspx?module=Licenses, select the license type, then select "Active" from the License Status. (Active licenses won't be older than January 1, 2018.)

Application and license fees vary depending on facility type. Consult the "Application and license fees" page for these fees.


Colorado:

The state has more than 380 unique medical-use and more than 700 unique adult-use cultivators. To review the two lists in their entirety, go to https://sbg.colorado.gov/med/licensed-facilities and select the "Cultivations" link.

Cultivation application and license fees vary based upon operation size. The base license fee for everyone is Tier 1 (1 – 1,800 plants) - $1,830.00.[8]

For cultivators who wish to expand their operations, the following license fee is paid[8]:

  • Tier 2 (1,801 – 3,600 plants) - $2,806.00
  • Tier 3 (3,601 – 6,000 plants) - $3,660.00
  • Tier 4 (6,001 – 10,200 plants) - $5,490.00
  • Tier 5 (10,201 – 13,800 plants) - $7,930.00
  • Each additional tier of 3,600 plants over Tier 5 - $976.00


Connecticut:

According to Connecticut's license lookup for medical marijuana producers, the four entities are licensed to cultivate in the state:

The state is not currently accepting new applications. However, the application fees for licenses were $25,000 for the initial applications, a $75,000 registration fee, and a $75,000 renewal fee.[9]


Delaware:

The state's cultivation facilities are vertically integrated with its dispensaries, i.e., dispensaries are also cultivators. The four unique entities operating cultivation centers in Delaware are[10][11][12]:

These compassion centers pay a $40,000 license fee ever two years.[13]

The state is not currently accepting new applications, though it may do so in 2022 or 2023.[11]


District of Columbia:

The District of Columbia allows eight cultivators to operate[14]:

The state is not currently accepting new applications.


Florida:

The state's cultivation is vertically integrated with it its other cannabis functions, and medical marijuana treatment centers (MMTCs) "are the only businesses authorized to cultivate, process and dispense low-THC cannabis and medical marijuana" in Florida.[15] (Vertical integration may be removed as a requirement at some future point, though that progress has stalled.[16]) The state currently has 17 active medical marijuana treatment centers[15]:

The state is currently in Phase Two Review of a new application process.[17]


Georgia:

In July 2021, Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission (GMCC) announced that it had approved six cultivation licenses for the manufacture of low-THC medical cannabis oil.[18] However, as of early July 2022, those licenses still do not appear as being issued on the GMCC website.[19] It's possible that filed legal protests against the application process, as well as other complaints, may be slowing down the finalization process.[20][21] The July 2021 announced license winners were[18]:


Hawaii:

The state of Hawaii allows for eight entities to grow and distribute medical marijuana, with each entity able to have two production centers and two dispensaries. Each production center is limited to a maximum of 5,000 cannabis plants. Those eight entities are[22][23]:

Iowa:

As of July 2022, the state still has only one active cannabis cultivator out of the two allowed by its medical cannabis program: MedPharm Iowa LLC (now known as Bud & Mary’s Cannabis Co.).[27][28] Iowa Relief, LLC backed out of the program in June 2020, and a request for proposals was issued by the state later that year.[28] ICC MFG Holdings LLC, doing business as Iowa Cannabis Co., apparently won that RFP but has been plagued by delays, requiring a second extension to get their cultivation facility going by May 1, 2023 or otherwise face losing their provisionary license.[27]


Louisiana:

Difficulties meeting laboratory testing requirements and acquisitions involving a grow operation originally slowed down the progress of getting the state's growing operations started.[29][30][31] Two growing operations eventually came online[31][30][32]:

  • GBSciences, Inc., hired by Louisiana State University, then sold to Wellcana Group, LLC
  • Ilera Healthcare, which bought Advanced Biomedics, originally hired by Southern University


Maine:

For medical marijuana, cultivation and manufacturing is vertically integrated with dispensaries. The state currently has more than 20 dispensaries approved.[33] (Go to https://www.maine.gov/dafs/ocp/open-data/medical-use and filter by Active.) Recreational marijuana does not appear to be integrated, with more than 60 cultivation facilities approved.[34] (Go to https://www.maine.gov/dafs/ocp/open-data/adult-use and filter by Active.)

Price of application/license fees is not clear.


Maryland:

The state requires a $2,000 application fee[36] and a $250,000 two-year license fee.[37]


Massachusetts:

The state does not require vertical integration among its growers, dispensaries, and producers, but many growers may also be integrated with dispensaries, etc. Massachusetts currently has more than 80 approved cultivators.[38] (Go to https://masscannabiscontrol.com/licensing-tracker/ for the full list; sort by license type.)

Michigan:

The state does not require vertical integration among its growers, dispensaries, and producers, but many growers may also be integrated with dispensaries, etc. Michigan currently has more than 480 unique licensed cultivators.[39]. (Go to https://www.michigan.gov/cra/Sections/mmfl and find "Active Facility Licenses in Michigan" and click "Launch Map." From there, in the filter, unselect all entities and select all the grower entries. Then select the arrow at the bottom middle of the page to view the table.)

The state claims it will open applications to new cultivators starting July 1, 2023. Fees are based on a cultivation "canopy tier" level.[47]


Nevada:

The current number and details of the state's licensed cultivators are unknown. Per an inquiry and a form letter emailed from the Marijuana Enforcement Division of Nevada, "the state is only permitted to release information on open dispensaries," and does not release information on current licensed cultivators. However, a list of provisional certificates awarded in November 2014 can still be found on their site, though many of the names are redacted due to confidentiality laws in the state.

Licensing fees for cultivation facilities differ based on product. Recreational marijuana cultivation has an initial $30,000 licensing fee, with renewal costs at $10,000. Medical marijuana cultivation has an initial $3,000 license, with renewal costs at $1,000.[48]

In December 2018, six additional providers were invited to proceed with the application process, though in February 2019 five appeals were filed by rejected applicants and an existing alternative treatment center in regards to the selected six. Due to the litigation, only one those six providers—Rise—has become fully licensed and operational.[51][52][53] By early 2020, more lawsuits had delayed final approvals even further, with no clear conclusion in site.[53] Since then, numerous other lawsuits have raised questions about the fate of several present and future dispensaries in the state.[54][55][56][57][58]


New Mexico:

The state calls licensed cultivators "producers", of which there are more than 100.[59] (Go to https://nmrldlpi.force.com/bcd/s/public-search-license?division=CCD&language=en_US and filter by license type of "Cannabis Producer" to see the full list.)

The state is not accepting additional applications at this time.
