Picking Your Business Type
To distinguish what will be required to apply for a Mississippi Medical Cannabis License, we must first distinguish what type of business you want to run. Picking a business type is simple. What would you like to do in the industry? We must first answer this question.

Each license type has a different fee required when submitting an application.
Requirements By Business Type
All applying entities must submit applicable business information including personal information on all owners. Additionally, the business must have a signed approval from local jurisdiction to operate.
