For the third time since marijuana was legalized for medical use in Arizona, officials held a lottery to hand out new licenses intended for rural counties that currently lack medical or recreational sale dispensaries.
Demitri Downing, president of the Marijuana Industry Trade Association said the competition for these licenses was stiff.
With only 13 licenses up for grabs, 377 people applied, and of those, Downing said 22 applications were rejected due to errors.
