St. Paul, Minnesota - The medical marijuana industry has grown a lot in the past year.
On Friday July 1, Leafline Labs, one of the state's two medical marijuana manufacturers, will open two new clinics in St. Paul and Hibbing.
"Business is going on phenomenally," said Dr. Andrew Bachman, CEO of Leafline Labs.
"A year ago today, there were zero patients in the registry of Minnesota and now there are over 1500, and that is incredible, when you think about the amount of care that has been delivered and the amount of lives that have been impacted," said Bachman.
The state program will also add "intractable pain" or chronic pain, as a qualifying condition.
Starting Friday, patients with intractable pain can be certified by a registered health care practitioner.
On August 1 2016, those certified patients can begin to receive medical cannabis.
Minnesota Medical Solutions, the state's other medical marijuana manufacturer, has also recently opened three other locations in St. Cloud, Moorhead and Bloomington.
There are currently eight medical marijuana dispensaries throughout the state.
"The future of the industry is moving a mile a minute and the key to this program, the key to any company in this program, is being adaptable," said Bachman. "We've always prided ourselves in being able to focus on our patients, first and always."
