How cannabis licensing works
States follow one of three models. Open licensing states such as California don't cap state licenses, but cities decide what's allowed locally. Capped states such as Illinois and New York release a limited number of licenses in application rounds. Vertically integrated states such as Florida and Texas issue one license that covers growing through selling.
