FN Group Holdings, which will do business as Wellspring Fields, is the first cultivator to receive the go-ahead from the state.

“They are good to go whenever they see fit,” said Stephanie Gostomski, spokeswoman for the department of commerce. “That is a business decision on their end.”

2. This is the result of a State Constitutional Amendment in 2016

The state legislators are mainly republican in both houses. The legislators didn't want the citizens initiative to occur. They dragged out their regulatory set up responsibilities as long as they possibly could. I suspect that John Boehner s' now sitting on a medical MJ board moved the issue along this summer.

I have heard the recreational MJ ppl will be passing petitions around in the fall; no way the legislators will ever vote for recreational.

The list of allowed conditions & doctors who can prescribe have tabs in the Dispatch story.
