There is not a limit on the number of cannabis business licenses issued in Alaska. Apply here

Why this is important

It's important to know if there is a limit on the number of dispensaries.  If there is a limit and the limit has already been met then you may have to wait until there is a change to that limit or should consider establishing a dispensary in a different state or purchasing a dispensary license instead of applying for a new license if none are available.  

Knowing the number of cannabis business licenses in a state is also important because that information is helpful in understanding the level of competition on the state which will affect your financial plan and marketing strategy. Thankfully, Alaska has not placed a limit on the number of cannabis business licenses issued and has instead opted to let the market decide which businesses prosper and which do not.
