State health officials are making preliminary applications available for non-profit medical marijuana dispensaries in Massachusetts.
A law approved by voters last November allows for up to 35 dispensaries around the state to provide marijuana for people with certified medical conditions such as cancer, Parkinson's Disease and AIDS.
The state Department of Public Health said Friday it would use a two-step application process for selecting dispensary operators.
The Phase 1 forms released by the Department of Public Health are meant to determine the financial stability of applicants seeking a dispensary license to sell cannabis in Massachusetts.
Background checks will be conducted and applicants must disclose whether any member of their group has been subject to a felony drug conviction. Applicants who pass this first round of the application process can move onto the second round in the fall. During Phase II, a committee will thoroughly vet dispensary applicants based on a competitive selection process. Attorneys representing dispensary applicants are pleased with the progress the DPH is making.
Applicants will have to pay a $1,500 fee with their Phase 1 application. They'll have to pay another $30,000 if they qualify for Phase 2 of the application process.
The applications are available at Welcome to Comm-PASS and must be submitted by Aug. 22.
