Snyder names appointments to Medical Marijuana Board

  

Governor Snyder made some powerful appointments today. The governor filled the five seats of the Medical Marijuana Licensing Board.

The board includes a recently retired sergeant for Michigan State Police, a licensed pharmacist and healthcare supervisor for Walgreens, and a former Speaker of the House.

They will use recommendations from the state Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Department to distribute licenses to grow, transport, test and sell medical marijuana.

In a press release, Governor Snyder said – quote – “The board will help provide the proper oversight of medical marijuana facilities to keep the public safe by ensuring proper health and safety standards are being met.”

Growing, transporting and selling medical marijuana is expected to be a lucrative industry in Michigan.
