Stockton's 2024 Permit Lottery: Only One Application Leads to Default Winner

The city of Stockton has automatically awarded a cannabis business permit to the sole qualifying applicant in this year’s commercial cannabis business lottery, bypassing the usual selection process due to a lack of competitors.

Historically, Stockton holds a lottery to allocate cannabis business permits but was compelled to cancel this year’s event due to insufficient applications, reflecting a broader trend of diminishing entries in recent years.

The window for submitting applications was open throughout May, but ended with only three applications received. Of these, only one fulfilled the eligibility criteria necessary to enter the lottery, as confirmed by Stockton’s Community Development Department.

This marks the second consecutive year without a lottery draw, indicating possible market saturation. The Stockton Municipal Code permits up to four applications each year, split between retail dispensaries and microbusinesses, yet this cap was far from reached.

A city spokesperson suggested the declining interest in new cannabis ventures might be due to the high barriers to entry, including stringent zoning laws, the necessity for appropriate real estate, and significant start-up costs. These factors combine to form a challenging environment for new entrants in the cannabis market.

Further insights into Stockton’s cannabis business regulations and the lottery process can be accessed on the city’s official website, providing resources for prospective applicants looking to navigate the complexities of the industry.
