If you are a business that has THC-infused beverages for retail sale, but are not a licensed cannabis retail establishment or a package store:

  • On May 14, 2024: Count the number of containers you have of THC-infused beverages you have in your possession. This includes all containers on the sales floor and in your business storage space.
  • Example: Four-pack of cans counts as four containers.
  • By June 15, 2024:
  • Report to the Department of Consumer Protection the number of individual containers of THC-infused beverages you counted on May 14, 2024.
  • Pay a $1 fee for each container reported in your count.

To report your inventory and pay your container fee:

  • You must use an existing account or create a new account in eLicense
  • Locate the THCR: THC-Infused Beverage Report in eLicense. Note: The report will not be available for use until May 14, 2024.
  • Report the number of containers of THC-infused beverages from your May 14, 2024 count.
  • Your container fee will be calculated.
  • Pay your fee when submitting your inventory.
  • The inventory and fee must be submitted no later than June 15, 2024.

If you have multiple locations, you must conduct and report a separate inventory for each location.

If you have more than one license for a location (for example, you hold an ENDS Dealer License, Gasoline, and Non-Legend Drug Permit at one location), you only need to report your count and pay the container fee once for that location.

IMPORTANT: Effective July 1, 2024, only cannabis retail establishments and package stores are allowed to sell beverages containing THC.
