DON’T BE FOOLED: SECTION 21 APPROVAL ALONE WON’T PROTECT YOUR STORE

If you think having a Section 21 approval means your store is safe, think again.
Many dispensary owners believe that Section 21 registration is the golden ticket to compliance. But here’s the hard truth: it’s just one part of a much larger puzzle. Operating with only Section 21 approval does not make your business fully compliant with the law. And it doesn’t protect you from inspections, raids, stock seizures, or being blacklisted by payment providers.
Why Section 21 Isn’t Enough
Section 21 approval allows for the use of specific unregistered medicines under certain conditions. Still, it doesn’t cover how you source your products, how you handle patient records, or whether your premises qualify as a certified collection point.
Operating without full compliance in these areas exposes your store to serious risks:
Raids and confiscations of your stock
Reputation damage
Declined applications from banks and payment gateways
Legal shutdowns of your store
