The Missouri cannabis industry is fast evolving with the first set of cannabis licenses awarded in January 2020. With more than 2200 cannabis license applications for only 338 available cultivation, manufacturing, and dispensary licenses in the state, the competition was particularly fierce.
Catalyst BC is pleased to announce our partner CannaVer, LLC has been awarded three Infused Product Manufacturing Licenses by The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. Winning a merit-based cannabis license application is a critical step, but the work has only just begun. “We are excited to be part of the CannaVer, LLC team as they move from application to execution,” said Catalyst BC Co-Founder, Leif Olsen.
Catalyst BC enables partners to move efficiently from planning to the finished product. Our dynamic portfolio of market-proven cannabis and hemp genetics, combined with our science-backed agriculture and extraction practices, are invaluable to our partners with and seeking a license, as well as those partners looking to get an existing license operational.

- Missouri Cannabis Licensing & Business Opportunities 2026
Missouri has established itself as the premier success story for cannabis in the Midwest, evolving from a standard medical regime to a high-volume adult-use market that exceeded $1.52 billion in annual sales in 2025. As the market enters the 2026–2027 biennium, the landscape is shifting from rapid expansion toward operational maturation and specialized entry. - North Carolina Cannabis Licensing & Business Opportunities 2026
North Carolina remains one of the final significant jurisdictions in the United States without a comprehensive medical or adult-use cannabis program. However, the 2026–2027 biennium is projected to be the most consequential period in the state’s cannabis history. Driven by the formation of the North Carolina Advisory Council on Cannabis and an impending federal “hemp cliff,” the state is moving from a period of passive prohibition toward a structured, albeit highly restrictive, regulatory framework. - Nebraska Cannabis Licensing & Business Opportunities 2026
Nebraska is entering the 2026–2027 biennium at a historic crossroads. Following the 71% voter approval of Initiatives 437 and 438 in late 2024—the largest margin for a medical cannabis initiative in U.S. history—the state is currently standing up its first regulated medical infrastructure. - Florida Cannabis Licensing & Business Opportunities 2026
Florida represents the most capital-intensive and professionally structured cannabis market in the nation. As of 2026, the state is at a crossroads: it is both expanding its mature medical program and preparing for a potential constitutional shift toward universal adult-use access. On November 3, 2026, Florida voters will decide on the Marijuana Legalization Initiative (Amendment 3). Passing this requires a 60% supermajority—a high threshold, but one that polls suggest is within reach. - Virginia Cannabis Licensing & Business Opportunities 2026
As Virginia transitions from its current “possession-only” model toward a fully regulated retail market, the 2026–2027 biennium represents a once-in-a-generation window for market entry. Unlike the vertically integrated “medical-only” regimes of the past, Virginia’s upcoming framework focuses on decentralization, specifically architected to favor small Virginia-based operators over large multi-state corporations. - Minnesota Cannabis Licensing & Business Opportunities 2026
Minnesota is currently undergoing a transformative shift in its cannabis landscape, moving from a semi-regulated hemp-derived market toward a fully comprehensive adult-use framework. Overseen by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), the 2026–2027 biennium represents the critical “enforcement phase” where temporary registrations sunset and permanent, merit-based licenses define the market’s long-term leaders.
