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.

    Our ancestors were born here and made it to the middle class so I deserve to have some fun in my leisure time, but we don't need foreigners taking our jobs and being grossly mistreated by greedy corporations.

    The blacks stopped doing your bidding 150 years ago, so who's going to mow your lawn for you, when you're stoned off your ass all the time?

      I don't mind a declining standard of living, as long as everyone around me also has a lower standard of living. Except for the 1 percent, of course those assholes will do very well.

      It's when people below me on the pecking order start thinking they have the right to get ahead just by working 60 hours a week and not slacking off. That cannot be allowed.
