DPH overhauling medical marijuana licensing

Saying the past process of licensing marijuana dispensaries was dysfunctional, Public Health Commissioner Monica Bharel announced Wednesday it would be "aggressively revamped."

"Clearly this process did not work," Bharel told the Public Health Council, describing a "confusing, overly lengthy application process."

Bharel said the Department of Public Health would scrap the multi-stage procurement process used over the past two years and would begin licensing dispensaries on an ongoing basis, similar to how pharmacies are licensed.

The move was cheered by the medical marijuana dispensary industry.
