See Federal Kit See Local Checklist

Compliance fails in two places. We cover both.

Federal regulatory readiness (DEA application + SOPs) and state operational compliance (packaging, labels, marketing rules) are different problems with different deadlines. Most operators have neither covered.

The DEA application asks for 12 SOPs

State-licensed brands now being asked to declare written standard operating procedures for ordering, receiving, inventories, storage, security, dispensing, distributing, destruction, theft/loss reporting, diligence, corresponding responsibility, and records. Most operators have none of these formally documented.

State rules diverge wildly

OK now requires DEA registration. OH and AZ prohibit non-geometric edible shapes. MA caps edibles at 5 mg per serving (vs 10 mg elsewhere). MS effectively prohibits consumer marketing. FL mandates MMTC vertical integration. A SKU compliant in NY can be illegal to ship in OH without changes.

Verbatim warnings + universal symbols

Every state requires specific warning language with specific font sizes and placement. Each state has its own universal cannabis symbol with its own minimum-size rule. "Close enough" doesn’t pass inspection.

Marketing channel restrictions vary

AZ 1,000-foot buffer from schools. MS prohibits public consumer ads. FL requires patient-portal authentication. NY/NJ/NM require 71.6%+ adult-audience documentation. MA may require 85/15. Get one of these wrong and you’re pulling product or paying fines.

Common questions

Do I need both? When?

If you operate in OK, you need the Federal Kit now — OMMA has tied DEA registration to state license retention. If you operate in any other state, the Local Checklist is the immediate operational pack. Most cannabis brand operators end up needing both: Federal for regulatory readiness, Local for day-to-day shipping. The bundle exists for that reason.

Is this legal advice?

No. GoBrandReady is a brand-operations service, not a law firm. Every output ships with the disclaimer "appears to conform to [regulator] rules as of [date] — confirm with your state-licensed cannabis counsel before publication." Our packs are built so your counsel reviews faster, not from scratch.

How fast is delivery?

48 business hours from completed intake form. Most customers receive their pack the next business day. We don’t auto-deliver before a human has reviewed your specific intake answers — that’s what makes the pack tailored instead of generic.

My state isn’t in your list. What now?

MA and NV are Phase 2 — if you ask, we can prioritize them. Other states (CA, CO, MI, IL, MD, CT, FL was added today) get added based on customer demand. Email partners@gobrandready.com or use the contact form with your state and we’ll tell you the realistic timeline.

What if my state’s rules change after I buy?

The Local Checklist is a point-in-time pack — it reflects the rules on your purchase date. For ongoing updates, upgrade to the Founding Cohort Pro tier ($99/mo locked) which includes continuous monitoring of regulatory changes for every state you operate in, plus alerts when changes affect your existing packaging or marketing.

Federal Kit + Pro tier — do I need both?

No. Pro tier ($99/mo Founding Cohort) includes ongoing federal compliance updates after the initial $999 kit delivers. So the right path is: buy the kit once ($999), subscribe to Pro for ongoing updates + Brand Vault + state coverage. The "$999 + $99/mo" pricing tier above is exactly that path.

Can I share the packs with my team / agency / counsel?

Yes — packs are licensed for your brand’s internal use. Share freely with your team, agency, counsel, and dispensary partners. Don’t republish or resell commercially.

I’m a retail dispensary, not a brand. Does this fit?

In adult-use states (NY, NJ, OH adult-use, AZ adult-use, NM, NV, MA): pure retail dispensaries aren’t the right fit. In medical-only states (OK, MS, FL, OH medical, AZ medical): many "dispensaries" are actually vertical operators where the dispensary IS the brand identity — those fit. If unsure, reach out and we’ll tell you.
