Hello,
I want to apply for an EIN with the IRS for my MMJ Business. We are going to produce bubble hash in California for resale at CA dispensaries. So, to be clear, we will be buying material to process into bubble hash and then vending it to dispensaries throughout the state.
I want to make sure I fill the application out correctly.
