Tied house notification
A cannabis retail store cannot hold a marketing licence.
Where there is an association, connection or financial interest between a marketing licensee and a cannabis retail store licensee, the LCRB must be informed. The general manager may impose a term and condition on the cannabis retail store licence prohibiting the sale of cannabis of a particular federal producer where a tied house association exists.
For more information, see Tied house connections. Notify the LCRB within 10 days of the change.
