How Much Is Your Time Worth?
LA Cannabis License Renewals Might Be Costing You More Than You Think
Let’s cut to the chase — how much is your hourly rate worth? $100? $250? More?
Now ask yourself this:
Would you pay yourself that rate to figure out how to navigate the ever-changing, borderline-incomprehensible LA cannabis license renewal process?
Didn’t think so.
License Renewals in LA: It’s Not Just a Form Anymore
If you’ve renewed before, you already know the drill:
DCR changes the forms every year
City departments don’t coordinate
Deadlines aren’t always announced clearly
And oh yeah — no one replies to your emails
For 2025–2026, we’re seeing new changes across multiple LA agencies. That means updated documentation, fresh signatures, portal logins you forgot existed, and formatting requirements that make you feel like you’re taking a government SAT.
Every hour you spend trying to decode this process is an hour not spent building your business, managing your team, or closing a deal.
What That Time Actually Costs You
Let’s say your time is worth $150/hour. You spend:
3 hours figuring out the new DCR checklist
2 hours finding the right LADBS contact
4 hours troubleshooting a “technical error” on a portal that never actually works
2 hours rewriting your business tax paperwork because it was “missing a middle initial”
6 hours going back and forth with DCR with zero response
That’s $2,550 in time and energy — and you haven’t even submitted your application yet.
CH Compliance Already Has the Map
We’ve been through it, backwards and forwards.
We know which forms have changed, where DCR will kick things back, what the analysts want to see, and how to move quickly through city departments without playing email tag for a month.

✅ Avoid city portal headaches
✅ Skip the guesswork
✅ Get it done on the first try
✅ Actually focus on your business again
And the best part? You spend way less than you would doing it yourself.
