People who want a license to grow or sell medical marijuana in Michigan have yet more uncertainty to deal with when it comes to getting licensed.
People with medical marijuana businesses had until mid-February to get their applications into the state if they wanted to stay open while they waited for a license. If they did, they got a grace period and could stay open until June 15 – the thinking was the state would hopefully be able to get them their licenses by that time.
But the state says it might not get through all those applications in time – more than 300 of them.
“We emphasized from the beginning that early submission and complete submission would be critical for timely licensure,” said Andrew Brisbo, director of the Bureau of Medical Marihuana Regulation.
Brisbo said the applications are being reviewed in the order they were received, and there was a big increase in submitted applications right before the deadline.
