Pennsylvania Announces First Round of Medical Marijuana Permits
The Department of Health announced the winners of 12 grower/processor permits as part of Pennsylvania's nascent medical marijuana industry.
John Collins, director of the state's Office of Medical Marijuana, said the department received 457 applications in total, including 177 prospective grower/processors and 280 for dispensaries.

"Issuing the grower/processor permits today is a significant step forward for Pennsylvania's medical marijuana program," Collins said.
Dispensary permits will be announced later this month, he said. The fully redacted applications will be made available in July.
Collins said permit awardees have six months to become operational. The plants will be grown in a secure location, he said, and not in an open field.
