OCM is partnering with Smartplay International, Inc., a recognized leader in digital lottery drawing systems, and Baker Tilly, an advisory tax and assurance firm, to conduct the lotteries. Both vendors have conducted cannabis license lotteries in other states.
The Office of Cannabis Management will regulate cannabis (including for the adult-use market, the Medical Cannabis Program, and for lower-potency h**p edibles) and issue licenses and develop regulations outlining how and when businesses can participate in the industry.
