DE Office of the Marijuana Commissioner Holds Public License Lottery
On Thursday, the Office of the Marijuana Commissioner (OMC) held a public license lottery to determine the selection of applicants across several categories – including cultivation, manufacturing, retail and testing – for Delaware’s regulated marijuana industry. Member of the Delaware General Assembly and oversight bodies and independent auditors were on hand to witness the proceedings and uphold the integrity of the process. The next step has the OMC notifying the selected applicants, who will begin the supplemental application process. Once the notifications are made the OMC will publish the lottery numbers and identities of the corresponding selected applicants and their counties of operation.
Additional information from the OMC:
Selected applicants may not sell or transfer their winning lottery number. Only active licenses to cultivate, possess, manufacture, sell, transport, or test marijuana products and accessories may be transferred.
OMC is committed to ensuring a transparent and equitable process as we continue to build a regulated marijuana industry in Delaware. We congratulate all selected applicants and look forward to their contributions in fostering a responsible and thriving market. The OMC will provide further updates as the supplemental application process progresses. For more information on the lottery and next steps for selected applicants, please visit our website or contact the OMC directly.
