Marijuana Business Magazine - February 2018

Alaska In an unprecedented move, the state’s marijuana control agency revoked the license of a cannabis edibles manufacturer accused of selling moldy products. The Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office board voted unani- mously to revoke the license of Fairbanks-based Frozen Budz and to fine the company $500,000. The company’s products were seized from retailers. Arkansas Winners of medical marijuana cultivation licenses are scheduled to be announced Feb. 27. The state’s Medical Marijuana Commission began reviewing the 95 applica- tions for the five available grow licenses. The marijuana commissioners gave themselves a Feb. 20 deadline to score the applications. Winners will be announced at a public meeting the following week. Grow license winners will pay a $100,000 license fee.
