Michigan awarded its first medical marijuana licenses Thursday, launching what is expected to become a $700-million industry in the state.
But the business owners won’t be able to operate for at least another month.
Licenses were granted for four large grow operations in Chesaning, a dispensary and processor in Ann Arbor and a secure transport company out of Lansing.
But no testing facility licenses were granted, so the actual marijuana and the products produced from the weed can’t yet be tested or sold.
