The third lesson covers all applicable taxes, how to pay for them, and how to plan for tax compliance. The fourth lesson provides an overview of the different license types available and the regulations specific to each. The fifth lesson breaks down the various categories of priority licensing, eligibility, and how to access these benefits.
The course concludes by highlighting other key regulations operators should be aware of to build into their planning, as well as market considerations from other states that have made the transition from medical to adult use.
