I was planning on starting a company in Gulfport. Go vertical seed to sale, at least get a tier 2 micro cultivation license, run sog since there’s no plant count. And get a processors license and dispensary license. But I saw you have to be a resident for at least three years. And I don’t live in Mississippi, I’m in Georgia.

You should check in with the good folks in the Oklahoma Growers thread. They also have a no license cap structure in the state.

Super competitive.
