The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has issued a warning to the public against paying money to individuals or groups claiming to facilitate the acquisition of cannabis licenses.
According to the Commission, no entity has been authorised to act as an intermediary in the licensing process.
In a press statement released on Monday, September 1, 2025, NACOC clarified that it has not accredited or certified any individual, group, or association to broker or secure cannabis licenses. "NACOC cautions all prospective applicants not to pay money to anyone purporting to act as an agent, intermediary, or consultant for cannabis licensing.
All licensing processes will be conducted only by the Commission, not through third parties," the statement read.
