How is your plant count determined as it affects your growing limits as a Class A, B, C Grower Licenses?
The MMFLA defines a plant as any living organism that produces its own food through photosynthesis and has observable root formation or is in growth material.
A licensee’s plant limit is based on the type of license issued. Any plant that meets this definition is counted toward the licensee’s plant count.
Can I hold a CPL license and a medical marihuana facility license?
There are no restrictions in the MMFLA that prevent a CPL holder from obtaining a medical marihuana facility license.
