Medical marijuana provisional approvals announced
The Division of Public and Behavioral Health on Monday notified medical marijuana establishment applicants of the results of the Division’s rigorous evaluation process to determine provisional certification to operate a medical marijuana cultivation, dispensary, laboratory, or production establishment.
In Carson City, two dispensaries, Nevada Organix LLC and one not named, received provisional license approval. See the full list here. Go here for provisional licenses for marijuana cultivation facilities, where there are seven in Carson City. Four Carson City applicants received license approvals for production facilities. There were no applicants in Carson City for independent testing laboratories.
Those who receive a provisional certification from the state have 18 months to comply with all applicable local government requirements, and receive a business license to operate the establishment.
Nevada statute NRS 453A.700 affords medical marijuana establishment applicants strict confidentiality. Applicants are given the opportunity to sign a release which allows DPBH to make public their information. The business names of the applicants who granted permission for public disclosure are now posted on the medical marijuana Establishment website here. The website will be updated as additional businesses consent to a release of information.
“I appreciate and commend the dedicated work the DPBH staff has put forth to implement the regulations of this complex and high-profile new medical industry,” said Romaine Gilliland, Director, Department of Health and Human Services. “The staff’s professionalism, integrity, and commitment to skillfully manage this enormous and historical undertaking is truly remarkable.”
