Delaware officials will be accepting application's for the state's first adult-use marijuana business licenses ahead of schedule this month.
The Office of the Marijuana Commissioner (OMC) announced that it will begin processing applications for cannabis retailers, cultivators, manufacturers and testing facilities on August 19, about two weeks earlier than the September 1 timeline that officials had initially put forward.
A total of 125 licenses will ultimately be issued, including 30 retailers, 60 cultivators, 30 manufacturers and five testing labs. OMC also detailed what portion of each category is reserved for social equity applicants, microbusinesses and general open licenses.
