MARKET CONDITIONS IN UTAH
The Utah Department of Health tentatively plans on posting the Request for Proposals (RFP) to be the 15th Medical Cannabis Pharmacy in Utah in mid-June 2021. The location of this pharmacy will be Daggett, Duchesne, Uintah, Carbon, Sevier, Emery, Grand, or San Juan County. Utah Code 26-61a-301 (5) states that the department may consider an applicant based on the applicant’s holding of a license to operate a cultivation facility if the applicant demonstrates that a decrease in costs to patients is more likely to result from the applicant’s vertical integration than from a more competitive marketplace. If the department gives this consideration, the department must find multiple other factors, in addition to the existing cultivation license, that support granting the new medical cannabis pharmacy license. The application fee will be $2,500.
While these license numbers demonstrate a highly competitive cannabis market in Utah, the gross revenue also illustrates the potential for success. However, success in such a competitive market cannot occur without a number of factors such as teamwork, market research, hard work, and cannabis industry experts to guide you.
