 In 2019 the island of Guam legalized recreational cannabis, but gave the territory time to figure out regulations.
By the end of August, on the 29th, Guam is scheduled to finally begin accepting applications for cultivators, manufacturers, testing labs and retailers. Unfortunately, though, during Monday’s meeting at Guam’s Cannabis Control Board, the Revenue & Tax Director Dafne Mansapit spoke about that August 29th date and said, “We will not be able to entertain the licensing applications.” The Daily News reported that the delay is due to a requirement that people seeking licenses must first be cleared by the Cannabis Control Board before they can apply. And at this time, the Board has not yet been able to do so, and no indication of how quickly that can be done, in light of the upcoming deadline. The board plans to meet one more time before August 29th to discuss their plan. Right now, it is legal for eligible adults to grow, possess, and consume cannabis, but until it is licensed, no sales or trade are allowed. Comments are closed.
