JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – More than 800 appeals have been filed by companies
that were denied state permits to grow, sell or distribute medical marijuana in
Missouri. As part of the process to launch Missouri’s new medical marijuana
program, the state received 2,266 marijuana business applications filed by at
least 700 different groups. It awarded 60 licenses to grow marijuana, 86 to make
marijuana-infused products and 192 to open dispensaries. The state’s
Administrative Hearing Commission had received 845 appeals of those denials by
Friday. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has hired three
outside lawyers to help the state’s legal team review all the appeals.
