What do package stores need to do to continue to sell THC-infused beverages?

If you are a package store that has THC-infused beverages for retail sale you must have an endorsement on your package store permit. You may only purchase THC-infused beverages to stock in your store from a Wholesaler with a Permit for Beer or Liquor.

• To sell THC-infused beverages:
  • Beginning July 1, 2024, package stores wanting to sell new stock of THC-infused beverages must apply for an endorsement on their package store permit. The endorsement is required to buy new stock of THC infused beverages from wholesalers. The endorsement application costs $500. If you have more than one package store permit, you must apply for the endorsement under each permit separately. The endorsement must be renewed annually for $500 at the same time you renew your package store permit.
  • To access the portal and apply for the THC-infused beverage endorsement:  
  1. Go to https://elicense.ct.gov.   
  2. Log into your active package store permit account with your existing user ID and password. (If you have forgotten your password, you may reset it via the link under the log in box.)
  3. Once logged in, scroll down to click “More Online Services” then click “License Maintenance.”
  4. Select the package store credential (LIP) applying for the endorsement and click “Start.”
  5. From the drop-down menu, select “THC-Infused Beverage Endorsement”.   
  6. Answer the questions, enter payment information, and submit your application. 
  7. You will receive an email from the Department with a new copy of your permit with the endorsement shown on it.
