Empowering Alaska cannabis to grow

The Marijuana Control Board (MCB), a division of the Alcohol & Marijuana Control Office (AMCO), is a regulatory and quasi-judicial agency that controls the cultivation, manufacture, and sale of marijuana in the state.

Operating licenses range from $1,000 to $5,000, with a $1,000 application fee for first-time applicants, a $600 renewal fee, and a $47 fingerprint fee per person, applicable to all license types regardless of category.

To apply, you must submit your application through the AMCO “myAlaska” online portal. Required forms include an operating plan, premises diagram, statement of financial interest, and food safety permits. All persons with a direct or indirect financial interest must be Alaska residents. You’ll also need to post public notice and notify local government that an application has been submitted.

The MCB may levy fines up to $10,000 for a first violation, $30,000 for a second, and $50,000 for a third or subsequent violation. First-time violations typically result in fines ranging from $100 to $1,000. The board can also suspend or revoke a license for severe violations or repeated non-compliance.
