COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A state employee's "inadvertent error" caused one medical marijuana company to receive a lower score than it earned and prevented it from receiving one of 12 available grow licenses, the Ohio Department of Commerce said Thursday.
The scores from one section of the application review process were inadvertently recorded a second time for a different section, affecting 10 of the 110 large grower license applicants, agency spokeswoman Stephanie Gostomski said.
PharmaCann Ohio LLC would have scored 8th and been awarded a provisional license had the correct scores been downloaded from the secure server where reviewers saved the scores.
