Maryland’s Medical Cannabis Commission is planning two independent investigations into the latest process for awarding licenses, a procedure that’s been put on hold after complaints and litigation.
“The priority is to get it right,” William Tilburg, the commission’s acting executive director, told prospective cannabis business owners who gathered in Annapolis on Tuesday afternoon.
One investigation will check whether the licensing review process was conducted fairly, Tilburg said. The other investigation will check the veracity of information included in high-ranking applications.
Tilburg said the commission staff is hiring the firms and that the reviews will each take at least 45 days. During that time, the commission will not award the licenses for growing and processing marijuana that have been under consideration.
