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 am glad that they're decriminalizing & legalizing marijuana. The War on Drugs has been a costly catastrophe. I cannot abide the smell of pot smoke, though. Dead skunks, like those actual ones that get run over on the roads in the West where I grew up. Also, nothing says 'ghetto' like the smell of weed wafting down the block. So putting it in edible form instead would be my hope, as a non-THC user. Get your high, but leave the breeze unfreighted for the rest of us.

    I hear a lot of people complaining about the smell of dank weed, but I have always found it to be far more pleasant than the smell of cigarette smoke.

      Probably is because that cigarettes are to other tobacoo what fast food hamburgers are to a nice steak.

      Seriously - cigarettes are made for volume only with only minimal considerations for taste, smell and paraphernalia.

      And yes, I try to get smokers around me to at least switch to cigars to pipes (or at the very least start to wear portable ashtrays}
