These 7 MS Coast companies are licensed to grow medical marijuana
The Mississippi Department of Health has issued medical cannabis cultivation business licenses to seven Mississippi Coast businesses.
Each of the cultivation businesses are licensed to grow medical cannabis. Cannabis cultivation facilities are “businesses licensed and registered with the health department that acquire, grow, cultivate and harvest medical cannabis in an indoor, enclosed, locked and secure area,” according to the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act.
Once cultivated, the products are sold to cannabis research facilities, testing facilities or processing facilities. The processing facilities turn the cannabis into products like oils, ointments, vaping cartridges and gummies that can be shipped and sold at licensed dispensaries.
