KTVA reports:

The Alaska Marijuana Control Board (MCB) members approved the first licenses for marijuana manufacturing facilities and retail stores at their Sept. 8 meeting. Destiny Neade, owner of Frozen Budz in Fairbanks, got one of each.

The approval of her licenses was met with applause by dozens of other industry hopefuls in attendance. "Everything seems really real right now. I'm opening this door and I'm really going to be infusing marijuana and making edibles," Neade said. "All the plans we've made are going to happen now that we've been approved."

There are four manufacturing facilities and 17 retails stores up for review during the MCB's two-day meeting.

    I'm disappointed not to see Charlene Egby's Alaska Cannabis Club [go.com] on the list of approvals.

    Did Charlene Egby remember to pay the necessary bribes?

        Attention seeker writes blog about courtroom antics. How very droll.

          Troll writes dismissive post of someone facing 24 years in prison at the hands of prosecutorial misconduct. How very mundane.

            Asshole layman alleges prosecutorial misconduct! Someone facing 24 years in prison should get a lawyer and quit whining about legal procedure on a weed blog. Someone making real money knowingly doing legally risky business should already have a lawyer. Clarifying the difference between corporation, limited liability company, and sole proprietorship is a job for a lawyer.

              I am impressed.
              When you commit to being a passive-aggressive asshole, you commit!
              No empathy required. Never had it, never will.

                I'm impressed! AC committing to an AC's committing to being something that doesn't actually exist, while a real human being is under the control of agents of a state? Well, maybe not so impressed. So now someone can be arrested for doing something legal! Oh, if only we were in Italy! Remember that time in the fountain? And people actually drink that water?
