It’s also the first large-scale expansion of adult-use licenses in the state since legalization in November 2022. The state received over 1,500 qualified applications for the licenses, which were awarded by lotteries organized by region, and cover retail, cultivation, and processing for smaller and larger businesses. The number of licenses available from each regional lottery was determined by population, with larger regions having up to 11 licenses to award and some smaller locales only offering a single license.
