Distributor

Introduction

Within the legal cannabis industry, distributors are licensed businesses that transport wholesale cannabis goods from cultivators and manufacturers to retail dispensaries.

They are the crucial middlemen between producers and retailers.

Let’s take a closer look at what cannabis distributors do and their role in regulated markets.

What is a cannabis distributor?

Cannabis distributors are licensed businesses that transport wholesale cannabis products from cultivators and processors to retail dispensaries.

Acting as intermediaries between producers and retailers, distributors handle the logistics of picking up, storing, and delivering cannabis goods in compliance with packaging, labeling, testing, and security regulations. 

By efficiently moving products through the supply chain, cannabis distributors enable legal marijuana markets to function and expand access to cannabis for both medical patients and recreational consumers.

Their infrastructure and oversight facilitate commerce between the various links in the cannabis industry.
