Some big news came out of Maryland this week that marijuana enthusiasts would appreciate. The state’s Medical Cannabis Commission has given the final nod of approval for the very first company in the state to start growing marijuana.
It’s been four years since Maryland legalized medical marijuana so this was long overdue.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the panel approved a license for ForwardGro this week. It was one among 15 others to be named as finalists last year.
Another finalist, Alternative Medicine Maryland, that didn’t get named has seeked an emergency motion in court to block the commission from issuing any final licenses.
According to the company, it says regulators didn’t consider racial diversity when awarding the preliminary licenses.
