What Types of Licenses May a Cannabis Microbusiness Seek Under the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act?

April 2, 2023 Morris, Downing, Sherred LLP

Under the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act (NJCREAMMA), cannabis microbusinesses can seek various types of licenses to participate in the cannabis market. These licenses are subject to the size and capacity limitations imposed on microbusinesses, as well as the other requirements specific to each license type.

Types of licenses available for microbusinesses include:

  1. Micro-Cultivator License: This license allows a microbusiness to grow cannabis plants, subject to a canopy limitation of up to 2,500 square feet.
  2. Micro-Manufacturer License: This license permits a microbusiness to produce cannabis products, such as edibles, concentrates, or topicals, with a production limit of up to 1,000 pounds per month.
  3. Micro-Wholesaler License: This license allows a microbusiness to purchase and store cannabis products, then sell them to licensed retailers or other wholesalers. The exact capacity restrictions for micro-wholesalers may vary depending on regulations established by the Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC).
  4. Micro-Retailer License: This license enables a microbusiness to sell cannabis products directly to consumers in a retail setting, with a sales limit of up to 1,000 pounds per month.
  5. Micro-Delivery License: This license allows a microbusiness to deliver cannabis products directly to consumers on behalf of licensed retailers. Specific restrictions and requirements for micro-delivery services may vary depending on CRC regulations.

Reasons for License Denial

A cannabis license application might be denied for various reasons. Some common factors that may lead to a license denial include, but are not limited to:

  1. Incomplete or inaccurate application: If the application is not filled out completely, contains incorrect information, or fails to provide all the required documents, it may be denied.
  2. Failure to meet regulatory requirements: Applicants must comply with all regulations and guidelines set forth by the Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC). This includes meeting operational, security, and safety standards, among others. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in license denial.
  3. Criminal history: Depending on the severity and nature of an applicant’s criminal history, particularly if it involves drug-related offenses, the license application may be denied. However, some past cannabis-related offenses may be eligible for expungement under the NJCREAMMA.
  4. Financial issues: Applicants must demonstrate that they have the financial resources and stability to operate a cannabis business. Failure to provide adequate financial documentation or evidence of financial impropriety may lead to license denial.
  5. Zoning and location: Cannabis businesses must comply with local zoning and location restrictions. If the proposed location for the business does not meet these requirements or is too close to sensitive areas such as schools, the license may be denied.
  6. Noncompliance with local regulations: In addition to state regulations, cannabis businesses must also comply with local ordinances and rules. Failure to adhere to these local requirements may result in license denial.
  7. Unresolved tax or legal issues: Applicants with unresolved tax liabilities, legal disputes, or other similar issues may have their license applications denied.
  8. Lack of experience or qualifications: Applicants must demonstrate that they have the necessary knowledge, experience, and qualifications to operate a cannabis business. If the applicant lacks the required expertise, the license application may be denied.
