Cannabis Business License Application - Social Equity


Cannabis Business License Application - Social Equity Applicants

The Maryland Cannabis Administration (“Administration” or “MCA”) is accepting applications from verified social equity applicants interested in obtaining a cannabis business license.


Pursuant to the Alcoholic Beverages and Cannabis Article §§36-401 et seq., Annotated Code of Maryland, and the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) Title 14, Subtitle 17, the Administration is responsible for licensing cannabis growers, processors, and dispensaries in the State.


Additionally, the first round application submissions for all license types are limited to social equity applicants only, meaning 65% or greater ownership of the proposed entity is held by a verified social equity applicant. An applicant, including any owner or investor of the applicant, or individual or entity with control of an applicant, may apply for only one license type per licensing round. An applicant may only be included on a maximum of two applications across all license categories in any licensing round.


More information on this application and the requirements can be found on the MCA’s website and in these application instructions.
