In the three weeks since the state put out a request for applications for the six new medical marijuana dispensaries it will be licensing, the Department of Health said it received approximately 530 questions about the application process.
The department attempted to answer those queries at a mandatory meeting for all Alternative Treatment Center applicants Thursday morning in Trenton.
Applicant eligibility, municipal approval and financial requirements were among the hot topics at the session.
Nearly anyone is eligible to participate, except those who currently hold a medicinal permit issued by the state Department of Health, individuals with a 25 percent financial stake in an already-issued permit, or those currently managing a treatment center.
