The medical marijuana business is booming across the state, even if no facilities are open yet. In Barry County, ten applications were filed with the Department of Health and Senior Services in hopes of opening businesses in cannabis trade. An additional two applications were filed in Shell Knob on the Stone County side.
For those pursuing operations in the medical cannabis field, there are five options that will directly involve the medicine: cultivation, manufacturing/infusing products, dispensing, transporting and lab testing. In all, the State of Missouri received 2,167 applications to be licensed in one of the five tracts. Of those, only 348 will be approved for cultivation, manufacturing, dispensing and lab testing. DHSS has not announced how many transportation licenses will be approved.
While ten applications were filed in Barry County, there is no guarantee on how many will be approved. All applicants will be judged based on strict criteria laid out by Amendment 2 and DHSS. DHSS has until December 31, 2019, to approve or deny the applicants.
