This morning, Aurora will start taking applications for the last recreational dispensary that will be allowed in the city for the foreseeable future. Aurora’s Marijuana Enforcement Division will review the applications and hold in-person meetings with each applicant before announcing a final decision on November 30.

Back in 2013, Aurora City Council capped the number of pot shops that would be allowed at 24, with four locations in each of the city’s six wards; over the last three years, all but one slot has been claimed, this one in ward VI, in southeast Aurora.

The Connecticut medical marijuana program can now officially move forward after proposed regulations for the newly-created industry were approved last night by the state General Assembly. The rules now head to the secretary of state for filing.
Officials say that within two weeks the new medical marijuana department will be accepting grower and retailer applications. Licenses should be issued at the start of the new year, which means medical marijuana dispensaries are at least five months away from being open.

Where’s Weed?

According to Arizona’s Department of Health Services Director, Will Humble, “The tumblers have clicked, and the race to apply for a dispensary [in Arizona]is on.”

​The Arizona Department of Health received 110 electronic applications — almost 60 percent of them for chronic pain — and authorized at least 44 people to use medical marijuana on Wednesday, the first day the program was active.

Their cards were mailed on Thursday, reports Mary K. Reinhart at AZCentral, allowing them to buy and possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana every two weeks, and grow up to 12 plants.
Those who live closer than 25 miles to the nearest dispensary eventually won’t be allowed to grow their own, but until the dispensaries are up and running, all patients are allowed to grow.
About a third of the applications were rejected for various reasons, including problems with physician forms certifying the patient has a specific debilitating medical condition and could benefit from using marijuana.

A large crowd turned out Monday morning for public hearings on the 18 applications for licenses to operate medical marijuana compassion centers in Rhode Island.

​A large crowd turned out for the Rhode Island Department of Health’s hearing Monday morning to gauge what the public has to say about the 18 applications for licenses to operate medical marijuana dispensaries, or compassion centers as they are known in the state.

The hearing kicked off with three elected officials expressing strong opposition to the compassion centers. Cranston Mayor Allan W. Fung, Rep. Peter Palumbo (D-Cranston), and Rep. Doreen Costa (R-North Kingstown) all expressed “grave concerns” about the proposed dispensaries, reports The Providence Journal.
Fung, who serves as public safety director for Cranston, said that Congress still characterizes marijuana as “a dangerous drug,” and he doesn’t want a compassion center in his city.

​The Rhode Island Health Department is now once again taking applications from those interested in opening medical marijuana dispensaries in the state, and officials said they are hoping to avoid problems they faced with the first round of proposals — which were all turned down.

The new round of dispensary applications (the form can be downloaded here) will be open until noon on November 12, and those interested can submit their plans to operate compassion centers that sell marijuana to patients in the state-run program, reports W. Zachary Malinowski of The Providence Journal.
“Our goal has been, and continues to be, assuring the safest and most effective compassion center for patients and the public,” said Dr. David R. Gifford, Health Department director. “We want to keep this process moving.”

​It took only one day after a cap was proposed for the number of medical marijuana dispensary applicants to exceed the number of available slots in Bozeman, Montana.

Eight medical marijuana providers applied Tuesday for licenses to do business in Bozeman, leaving the city with one more application than the 32-dispensary cap the City Commission has proposed.

“It’s too early to know what the final end game is because we’ll have to see what happens with those applications,” said Commissioner Chris Mehl on Tuesday afternoon, reports Amanda Ricker at the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
If the city ends up with too many people competing for not enough dispensary licenses, “We’ll have to deal with that if and when it happens,” Mehl said.

​Rhode Island’s department of health will hold public hearings Tuesday, June 29, to review and receive comments on 15 applicants to open the state’s first medical marijuana compassion centers (dispensaries). The dispensaries will operate as nonprofit entities to safely and securely distribute marijuana to qualified patients in the state.

According to recently released figures, Rhode Island has 1,562 medical marijuana patients who are currently required to grow their own medicine or have caregivers grow it for them.
