Head of Maryland medical marijuana grower licensing defends decisions, says scores were tightly bunched
A key figure on the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission defended the panel's decisions on who received licenses to grow marijuana for medical use amid accusations that politically well-connected applicants were selected over better-qualified companies.
Cheverly Police Chief Harry "Buddy" Robshaw, who chairs the growers subcommittee of the commission, said the differences in the scores of the top applicants were very small. The top 15 applicants — which received preliminary growers licenses — were "about interchangeable," he said.
"They really were very close up to [No.] 30 or 40," Robshaw said.
The commission has not released the scores, which guided officials as they picked which companies would receive the potentially lucrative preliminary licenses to grow and process marijuana.

Black caucus is going to holt the issue of the lisence. This will effect ten of thousands of sick people that could get relief. Their reason is the black owned company should have been selected even though it didn't meet any of requirements to make the medicine.
In other words, Affirmative Action, one of the biggest policy losers in American history.
Recurring theme, "I'm black, I'm a victim".
I knew it wouldn't be legalized until it could be monopolized. Your seeing it right now. You don't get a permit unless you are deep inside the good ole boy network. Meanwhile people (mainly black) are still being thrown in prison. THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
