While the application process for medical marijuana dispensaries to start selling adult-use recreational marijuana opened up a couple of weeks ago on June 7, it’s still up in the air when these dispensaries will actually be able to open their doors to people without medical cards.
Dozens of medical dispensaries, cultivators, processors, and testing labs have been issued provisional licenses, but they still have to prove they completed the requirements from the Division of Cannabis Control, including an updated POS system that differentiates between medical and recreational purchases, and proving they have enough supply for medical marijuana patients.
