Minnesota advanced in its plan for making medical marijuana available for patients next year as it opened up applications Friday for potential manufacturers of the drug.
State health officials say the results of the monthlong application period will play a role in the success of the new law’s implementation. Minnesota plans to manufacture and distribute medical cannabis by next July.
The state will have two manufacturing plants, and each will service an area of the state based on congressional districts.
