The growers approved by the Medical Mari- juana Commission will provide cannabis for the 32 MMJ dispensaries the state will license. The five are: Natural State Medicinals Cultivation, Jefferson County; Bold Team, Woodruff County; Natural State Wellness Enterprises, Jefferson County or Jackson County; Osage Creek Cultiva- tion, Carroll County; and Delta Medical Cannabis Com- pany, Jackson County. Alaska Police in Juneau have changed their policy on the transportation of legal cannabis, saying they’ll allow licensed marijuana businesses to take cannabis on com- mercial flights within the state. Police Chief Ed Mercer wrote in a letter to Alaska’s U.S. attorney general and the local Transportation Security Administration office that marijuana businesses with “proper documentation” will be allowed to transport cannabis via air across the state. The move could help local cannabis entrepreneurs con- duct business in areas accessible only by plane. 20 • Marijuana Business Magazine • April 2018
