WILKES-BARRE — Applications to be medical marijuana growers/processors and dispensaries are now available on the state Department of Health’s Medical Marijuana Program website, according to Secretary of Health Dr. Karen Murphy.
Permit applications will be accepted from Feb. 20 to March 20.
“This is an important step forward in getting this valuable medication to patients who desperately need it,” Murphy said in an emailed release. “We’ve developed a thorough application that ensures the operators of medical marijuana grower/processor and dispensary facilities will meet our strict guidelines. Our goal is to deliver medication safely and responsibly and this application will help us do just that.”
