The registrants who met the deadline – 1,866, a spokeswoman for the L.A. Department of Cannabis Regulation told Marijuana Business Daily – did so simply to verify their eligibility to seek cannabis retail licenses through L.A.’s social equity program.
The next round of L.A. marijuana business licensing opens Sept. 3.
