Applications are available for potential medical marijuana growers and dispensaries.
Interested parties can download the applications from the Pennsylvania Department of Health website and apply between Feb. 20 and March 20.
Applying is not cheap. Growers will be required to submit a nonrefundable $10,000 application fee, a $200,000 permit fee (which is refundable if the permit is not granted) and proof of $2 million in capital.
Dispensaries will have to pay a nonrefundable $5,000 application fee, a $30,000 refundable permit fee and proof of $150,000 in capital.
Officials say Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana program remains on schedule and will be up and running by mid-2018.
