Steamboat Springs – Jacob Wise expects to have a medical marijuana kitchen open within a few months after the Oak Creek Town Board gave the final OK on Thursday night.
Wise, who owns a medical marijuana dispensary in Oak Creek, wants to create a medical marijuana kitchen on Nancy Crawford Boulevard as he switches the focus of his business from smokable marijuana to tinctures – liquids with the active ingredients of marijuana.
Wise will have to pay about $3,000 in fees as he opens the wholesale business, including a special fee of $750 for medical marijuana businesses.
"They said everything would be fine as long as I met state requirements and health codes and fire codes and everything like that," Wise said Friday.
The Oak Creek Planning Com**mission gave Wise preliminary approval, but it was up to the Town Board to make sure all the necessary plans and permits were in place.
Oak Creek Mayor Nikki Knoe**bel said Wise came before the board with all the required material, including security plans, parking and snow storage space.
Wise said the business will be wholesale to other dispensaries, and he will do retail only out of his existing dispensary. Because of that, there is no additional tax in Oak Creek on the business.
