There’s a rush for applications to grow or dispense medical marijuana in the state of Maryland and as a result there will be a delay in the start of the program.
The commission overseeing the program said there have been 882 applications for licenses as of the November 6th deadline.
WBOC reports that Hannah Byron, executive director of the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission, said the review of the applications will be extended to mid-January.
Byron added that the large number of applications indicates there is a strong group of contenders.
The television station reports that most of the applications – around 705 – are for dispensaries.
