Requirements for a Micro-Cultivation License

Individuals are now able to apply for micro-cultivation licenses. If approved for a micro-cultivation license you would be authorized to grow an unlimited amount of cannabis.

However, in order to qualify for a micro-possess license, your cannabis production facility surface area cannot be larger than 200 square meters. This would include areas with multiple surfaces such as surfaces that are vertically arranged. Cultivation may be conducted indoors or outdoors however, the cannabis plant surface area would include any indoor/outdoor areas at any single time.
