Licensing Resources

Application resources

Starting a legal cannabis business in California takes time, effort, organization and planning. To help, we created resources to help you apply for a license and technical guides for the licensing systems.

The documents on this page were created prior to the creation of the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC). Some of them still have logos or contact information for the three former state cannabis programs. We intend to update them with DCC information. You can still use them as resources until we do.

The California Asian-Pacific Chamber of Commerce and the California Grow Green Program hosts workshops that utilize subject matter experts but do not make recommendations to utilize their services. We refer participants of Cannabis Programs to various service providers. While we strive to make the information in the workshops as accurate as possible, the Chamber makes no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or adequacy of the contents of this list of service providers, and expressly disclaims liability for errors and omissions in the contents of the list. No warranty of any kind, implied, expressed, or statutory, including but not limited to the warranties of non-infringement of third party rights, title, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose, is given with respect to the contents of this list of service providers. The Chamber does not guarantee the accuracy of the information concerning any service provider. The Chamber does not license, endorse, or recommend any particular service provider, nor do we make any judgment about the quality of services given by any service provider. Reference in this list to any specific service or service provider, or the use of any trade, firm or corporation named is for the information and convenience of the participants of our Cannabis Programs, and does not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or favoring by the Chamber.  Consequently, we urge participants of the Cannabis Programs to interview a service provider and to check the service provider’s references carefully before hiring or using the services of a service provider.
