CANTON – A local medical marijuana dispensary has received a provisional license for recreational sales and at least two other existing dispensaries have applied for the state’s dual-use licenses.
Provisional licenses are a step toward the certificate of operation needed to legally sell cannabis to recreational users. The Division of Cannabis Control, created by the voter-approved law to legalize recreational use, began awarding provisional licenses last week to existing medical marijuana cultivators, processors, dispensaries and testing laboratories.
For the first two years, the state is only awarding recreational licenses to existing medical operators. The products also will continue to be the same as what’s available under the medical program until lawmakers establish rules for the recreational market, which is expected to occur in September.
