GrowBLOX Sciences, Inc., “GB Sciences” (OTCQB:GBLX), a company that merges state-of-the-art technologies in plant biology, cultivation technology and post-production processes in order to optimize safe and consistent medicinal cannabis, is pleased to update its shareholders on its efforts to receive the necessary licenses to grow and dispense medical cannabis in Nevada.
We recently announced that we had received written notice from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services approving the application of our subsidiary, GB Sciences Nevada LLC for a medical marijuana establishment (“MME”) cultivation facility, which is consistent with prior approvals the Company received from the City of Las Vegas and Clark County, Nevada. The Company is proceeding with architectural plans, business licensing and all the regulatory steps required to commence cultivation activities in the first half of 2015.
On Dec. 1, 2014, our subsidiary, GB Sciences Nevada LLC (“GBSN”), together with four other plaintiffs, filed a complaint against the State of Nevada, Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public and Behavioral Health and several others. In addition, on December 5, 2014, GBSN filed an additional complaint against the State of Nevada, Division of Public and Behavioral Health of the Department of Health and Human Services; City of Las Vegas, Desert Aire Wellness llc; and Nuleaf ChV Dispensary, LLC.
Prior to filing these lawsuits, GBSN had submitted applications for MME dispensaries in Clark County and the City of Las Vegas. After a rigorous process, GBSN was approved and found suitable and qualified by both the County and the City. In the case of the City, the City Council voted 6-0-1 in favor of our application. We then submitted all approved applications to the State of Nevada.
Subsequent to Clark County and the City of Las Vegas approving GBSN and other applicants, several unsuccessful applicants nevertheless filed MME dispensary applications with the State of Nevada, without obtaining local approval. The State then issued provisional licenses to certain of these non-approved applicants, notwithstanding prior legislation, regulation and testimony that local approval, including use permits, are prerequisites for such applications to be deemed complete and suitable for ranking and licensure. In the absence of such local approvals, we believe that these applications should have been deemed incomplete and disqualified. We also believe that there is legal precedent for our views.
Accordingly, it is the Company’s position that the State acted improperly in issuing many of the provisional license notifications, and had it adhered to the legislation, the legislative intent and existing State and local regulations, GBSN would have received provisional State licenses for its applications in Clark County and the City of Las Vegas, as we ranked within the top 18 applicants in Clark County and top 12 applicants in the City of Las Vegas.
Although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in this litigation, we have been advised by counsel we have a strong case and should prevail on the merits.
We will keep our shareholders advised as to the outcome of this matter.
