While the New Jersey Adult-Use Cannabis Business Application and Licensing process may seem complicated, the first step in determining the type of application you will need to submit (conditional vs. annual) depends on your answer to the following question…
Do the members with decision-making power listed on the applying entity make under $200k a year if filing individually or under $400k a year if filing jointly in 2020?

If you answered no, you and your team will need to apply for an Annual Adult-Use Cannabis Business License. Applicants for annual licenses will be required to submit a more comprehensive application that includes details for the proposed site for the business, which must be owned or leased by the applicant and receive local zoning approval for the property.
Applicants must also submit an operating summary plan in which applicants detail their experience, history, and knowledge of critical pieces of operating a cannabis business.
Per the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission’s Notice of Application, the applicant must also obtain local support. While obtaining local support from certain municipalities can be demonstrated via a letter/form stating the municipality will allow a cannabis facility at your proposed location, other municipalities will require you to submit a full application package to gain approval.
The Cannabis Business Advisors can help you assemble a full application package that may include the below:
- Environmental impact plan, safety and security plan, community impact, social responsibility, and research statement; workforce development and job creation plan, which may include an optional diversity plan
