Local Government Protest Deadline: Voodoo Cannabis Company License Renewal

The Alaska Alcohol & Marijuana Control Office (AMCO) has deemed the renewal application for Denali Fire Green LLC, doing business as Voodoo Cannabis Company, to be complete. The business, located at 930 Gambell St in Anchorage, holds retail marijuana store license #25309. The designated licensee is Chris Owens. Following this notice, the application will be forwarded to the Municipality of Anchorage and the Fairview Community Council for review. The local government has a 60-day window to file a formal protest against the renewal under 3 AAC 306.060. If a protest is filed, the Marijuana Control Board is required to review the application unless the protest is found to be arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable. While the AMCO Director has delegated authority to approve renewal applications, the Marijuana Control Board must independently consider the application if there are outstanding notices of violation, local government protests, or public objections filed within 30 days. If the application requires board consideration, the licensee may be required to make a mandatory appearance.
