Cannabis License Applications Open Across Territory; Sept. 15 Deadline Set

Applications are now open for several cannabis license categories across the territory, with qualified individuals and businesses given until September 15, 2026, to submit their materials through the V.I. Office of Cannabis Regulation’s online licensing portal.

The available licenses differ by island. On St. Croix, applications are being accepted for cultivation, manufacturing and dispensary licenses.

Applicants on St. Thomas and St. John may seek cultivation and manufacturing licenses.

Micro-cultivation and research and development licenses are available territory wide.

OCR said the application cycle provides qualified individuals and businesses with an opportunity to participate in the continued development of the Virgin Islands cannabis industry.

Applications must be filed online through the licensing portal available on OCR’s website at ocr.vi.gov.
