Every state has different marijuana laws- they are regulated by state, not federal law. Some states allow marijuana for recreational and medical use, some states only allow medical use, and some only allow certain low THC products for medical use. Most states limit the number of licenses they will grant and the window to apply for them. Getting licenced is never simple- there are very specific requirements and guidelines that differ by state and its usually highly competitive, which is why most successful applicants work with consultants like Dispensary Permits to help guide them. We highly advise you read the guidelines below thoroughly and then consider working with a consultant or using our templates and guides.

The History of Connecticut Marijuana

On June 1, 2012, Gov. Dannel Malloy signed a medical marijuana program into law that legalized possession and consumption of marijuana for qualified patients and caregivers. The law also set up a system to allow patients access to medical marijuana from licensed dispensaries. On May 31, 2012, the Department of Consumer Protection became responsible for administering Connecticut’s medical marijuana program with the enactment of Chapter 420f of the Connecticut General Statutes, “An Act Concerning the Palliative Use Of Marijuana”.

Initially, the law prohibited minors from participating in the program. On May 17, 2016, Gov. Malloy expanded the program by signing HB 5450, which allowed minors to qualify for medical marijuana and added six new qualifying medical conditions.

On January 3, 2018, the Department of Consumer Protection issued a Request for Applications to award between three (3) and ten (10) new dispensary facility licenses for locations throughout the state. Deadline for application submission was April 9, 2018 at 3:00 PM.
