THE CNMI Cannabis Commission on Thursday issued the Commonwealthâs first Producer Class II and Retail licenses.
Saipan Select LLC is the first applicant to be issued a retail license under the Commonwealthâs cannabis commercial program.
With the issuance of a retail license, local residents 21 and older can purchase marijuana legally over-the-counter.
The Producer Class III license is the largest of the commercial production licenses that the CNMI Cannabis Commission offers.
It permits the licensee a grow area of up to 5,000 square feet of canopy space for the legal planting, cultivation, growth, harvesting, drying and sale of cannabis to licensed wholesalers, processors, retailers, lounges, laboratories, and/or research certificate holders in the CNMI.
