JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Juneau’s first state-certified commercial cannabis farm is up and running with plans to start selling their products as soon as October.
Rainforest Farms received a final inspection and was certified to begin full-scale production on Friday. Brothers James and Giono Barrett, who run the grow operation, have already filled the site with nearly 300 cannabis plants.
“It’s cool to think that someone’s going to purchase the cannabis that comes off of these. I know that’s pretty straightforward, but it’s exciting to me,” James Barrett told The Juneau Empire. “At this point, now that we have our license, it’s all real.”
