Applying for one of the five new medical marijuana licenses when new guidelines take effect in mid December promises to be a rigorous process, lawyers say.
The state’s licensing framework is supposed to be in place by mid December, but there are no guidelines on the state’s medical marijuana website yet.
Attorneys say prospective applicants should expect a licensing process similar to those in other states with similar laws.
“I think it’s going to be more intense than people initially think,” said attorney Alex Leonowicz, with the Royal Oak firm Howard & Howard. “If you look at what other states have done, it’s really going to require individuals to think through the entire process.”
“You can equate it to a liquor license, or a gaming license,” Leonowicz said. “They’re very serious about this process.”
