Detroit issues first recreational marijuana licenses to 33 businesses

Detroit – After years of back and forth and court battles, Detroit finally released recreational marijuana Licenses to businesses.

The approvals come four years after voters approved statewide recreational marijuana legalization. On Thursday, the city notified the first 33 successful applicants for adult-use cannabis retail licenses to be approved. The city approved 13 non-equity applicants and 20 equity applicants.

“From the day voters approved the sale of adult-use marijuana, our goal has been to make sure we have a city ordinance and a process for obtaining those licenses fairly and equitably, and the courts have confirmed that we’ve done that,” Detroit Mayor Mike “City Council President Pro-Tem Tate, along with our Civil Rights, Inclusion and Opportunity and Legal Departments, deserve credit for making this historic day possible,” Duggan said. “

Under the ordinance, the city has the ability to approve 20 general applications for retail licenses and 20 social equity applications in the first round.

In the social equity category, the 20 applicants with the highest overall scores were awarded licenses.

In the general license category, only the 13 applicants with the highest overall scores were approved. The next 20 applicants with the same score are not eligible for the lottery. The remaining 7 general licenses will not be issued in the first round.

Applications for the first round of 10 micro-business and 10 consumer lounge licenses were not received and all approval requirements were met.

Detroit plans to award an equal number of common and equity retailer licenses at the end of its application round. All license types, including micro-enterprise and consumer lounge licenses, that failed in the first round of applications can be reapplied in the second round.
