Our Los Angeles Cannabis Attorneys are constantly fielding questions about a popular license category called microbusiness. The Type 12 license allows you to engage in multiple cannabis activities on the same premises. For example, you could cultivate up to 10,000 sq. ft. of canopy, and distribute, and deliver under one license for microbusiness. The chance to diversify your business and conduct multiple activities under one license is appealing to many existing and prospective cannabis business owners.

The Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC), released their final regulations for cannabis microbusiness licensees last week, after revising them post SB-94 (you can read more about the process here). Here’s what they have to say about the restrictions on cannabis microbusinesses:

• Microbusinesses must engage in at least 3 different commercial cannabis activities
• Microbusiness applicants have to describe operating procedures as required for each activity
• If a microbusiness license is revoked or suspended, it affects every activity done using that license
• Microbusiness license fees range from $5,000 to $120,000 depending on size of operation (up to $5 million)
• Retail operations & Microbusinesses with retail sales can give out free samples to medicinal marijuana customers, as long as it meets the same conditions as normal retail sales
• Sales at events are allowed
• Retailers & Microbusinesses with retail will have to employ security guards
