Market Overview
North Dakota’s medical cannabis legalization came about in 2016 through a ballot initiative. Due to regulatory concerns, the state elected officials delayed the implementation of the medical program unil 2017 when a revised bill was signed into law leading to an application period for facility licenses in 2018. Although previous efforts moving toward adult use legalization have been unsuccessful, some are hopeful that the Governor’s signature on HB1050 will eventually lead to this result. This bill not only reduces penalties heavily for possession of cannabis for those over 21, it also calls on state legislators to study adult use North Dakota cannabis license programs to understand the feasibility of implementation in North Dakota. While smokable cannabis flower is available through North Dakota’s medical program, physicians must recommend that product specifically for patients to access it.

Business Climate
In 2019 North Dakota was listed as a top 5 state for opportunity relating to economics, education, health and community. The state is also known as the Land of Opportunity. Overall, the majority of the state has embraced the formal legalization of cannabis for medical use and it is possible that the state moves towards adult use legalization within the next year. The North Dakota cannabis license process is currently closed and it is likely that the addition of licensing will follow an adult use legalization bill or an expansion to the current medical cannabis program.
