JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri’s Division of Cannabis Regulation (DCR) has posted the results of the random lottery drawing to award microbusiness licenses to applicants.
This is the first of three separate rounds of microbusiness licenses to be awarded, per Article XIV, Section 2.
More than 1,600 applicants applied between July 27-Aug. 10. Now that applicants have been selected through the lottery, their applications will be reviewed for eligibility. The lottery selection does not guarantee the applicant a facility license.
No later than Oct. 4, a total of 48 microbusiness licenses will be issued; six microbusiness license applicants will be selected within each of the eight Missouri congressional districts. Of the six in each district, two will be microbusiness dispensaries, and four will be microbusiness wholesale facilities.
Applicants not selected this round will be eligible to reapply during future rounds of licensing.
To ensure the integrity of the applicant selection process, the Missouri Lottery conducted the drawing without reference to the identities of the applicants.
Lottery results are identifiable by applicants and can be found at www.Cannabis.Mo.Gov
