Oregon Cannabis: OLCC Licensing And Market Updates

We continue to represent myriad buyers and sellers of OLCC marijuana licenses. At any given time, we are running 10-12 of these transactions, and sometimes more, as we have for many years. Recently, there have been a few changes worth noting, particularly as to the OLCC protocols. I'll touch briefly on other market dynamics, too.

The OLCC updates

a. Fast application assignments

Gone are the days of buyers and sellers waiting months to hear from an OLCC investigator, following submission of a change-of-ownership application. The OLCC's "processing dates" page reports that change-of-ownership applications are now being assigned and processed through September 3, 2025 submissions. That's not accurate. For the past month or so, we've seen a series of applications assigned within a week or two of submissions. These are moving fast.
