Agrios Global Holdings Ltd. announced that Agrios Business Solutions, LLC, has executed its first two agreements with two separate applicants to provide license application related consulting services. Under the terms of the agreements, ABS will aid its clients in drafting and applying for single dispensary licenses under the laws of the State of Missouri. The Medical Marijuana and Veteran Healthcare Service Initiative was approved in the state of Missouri on November 6, 2018, effectively legalizing marijuana use for medical purposes under state law and creating regulations and licensing procedures for medical marijuana and medical marijuana facilities (dispensary, cultivation, testing and marijuana-infused product manufacturing facilities) as well as licensing fees for such facilities. Medical marijuana, by its nature, is more regulated than recreational marijuana for growers, processors, distributors and patients. All licenses for (i) medical marijuana cultivation, (ii) manufacturing and testing facilities, (iii) dispensaries, and (iv) transportation providers must be held by entities that are majority owned by Missouri citizens. Because of the significant cost associated with setting up cultivation facilities, dispensary licenses will be the most highly sought after and competitive out of the types of licenses. Every state with either medical or recreational marijuana laws regulates cannabis differently. In Missouri, as in most states, every cannabis plant will have to be controlled, a system known as a seed-to-sale tracking program. Due to Missouri's medical status, growers have more incentive to focus on cultivating with less synthetics and growing pesticide-free, natural, sustainable and ultimately healthier products. Consistency in crop quality is exceptionally important in product grown for medical purposes to follow dosing standards as in other pharmaceutical medications. At this level of regulation, growers will need expert advice on not only the best methods for growing marijuana but also for such things as what kinds of nutrients to use and how far apart the plants should be spaced. They will also require advice on how to select the proper real estate, whom to hire for security services to protect the crop, and how many cameras they are required to install to monitor operations. Agrios can also offer company's license application clients who obtain licenses further advisory and consulting services in areas such as dispensary operations, agriculture technology and agronomy services for improving crop yields and quality.
