Once you have gathered all of the necessary documents and it has been determined that you will meet all requirements for licensure, submit your application.
Step 3: Background Checks
The Bureau of Marijuana Control is going to conduct a thorough background check on you and every member of your organization. They will contact all counties, federal courts, state licensing agencies to make sure that everyone in the company is qualified for licensure by checking their criminal records.
- Find Delivery Drivers
You are going to need a reliable delivery driver. You can either hire one of your employees or use a third-party company to handle the delivery process.

Unless you want to deliver your cannabis products from your home, make sure to find a place where people can safely pick up their orders. This might be a warehouse, office space, or storefront location.
- Decide on Cannabis Products and Prices
Complete this step by creating an inventory list of all the cannabis products you want to sell and deciding on your prices. Take into account how much you’re going to charge for taxes and the price differences between the various cannabis products you are offering.
- Grow Your Own Product or Source It from Another Provider
If you don’t want to grow your own cannabis, there are plenty of other providers that you can source from. You can explore marijuana delivery services online or in-person for more information on finding reputable providers.

You need equipment for packaging, storing, and pricing your products. Your registration certificate will be handy at tax time.
