Official Sources & Methodology
This site is a directory, not a license database. For each jurisdiction below we link directly to the official state cannabis regulator and its public license-search portal. We do not host, mirror, normalize, or synthesize license records — the regulator's own site is always the authoritative source.

Methodology
- What we publish. The agency name and official portal URL for each jurisdiction, plus its legal-program status (medical / adult-use).
- What we don't. Individual business names, license numbers, statuses, expiration dates, or counts. Those live with the regulator and can change daily.
- Link review. An automated weekly check confirms each portal link still responds; the badge above shows the result and the real date of the last run. The regulator's site remains definitive if a link drifts.
- Not affiliated. Cannabis Promotions is a B2B packaging supplier and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any state regulator.
