OLCC Marijuana License Types

While many of these license types currently have a moratorium on them, the OLCC has indicated that they may open the markets back up in the next two years, prioritizing BIPOC small businesses owners who may have been neglected in the initial rush to issue licenses. Currently, these are the options for marijuana licenses in the state of Oregon.
