RI Medical Marijuana: New dispensary licenses delayed from appeal

One bill proposed by Gov McKee, another by State Senate leaders

“Subjective evaluations” by a commission  which usually relies on a “point-based” merit system to determine an applicant’s eligibility  “can lead not only to very long delays in license processing but to litigation from those who find themselves on the wrong side of that subjective, points-based evaluation.”  Santacroce points as an example to Illinois, which approved recreational use of marijuana last year.  That state’s decision last fall to rescore some applications for marijuana dispensary licenses has led to various court challenges and marred the state’s new program.  According to Illinois news reports, Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration revealed last September that only 21 firms out of over 900 applicants qualified for 75 “social equity” dispensary licenses.
