Review: Chains, trade group members win pot licenses in Mo.

ST LOUIS (AP) - A newspaper review shows that some of the country's biggest marijuana chains and board members of Missouri Medical Cannabis Trade Association are among groups that won licenses to grow, process or sell Marijuana.

The state recently awarded 338 licenses for its new medical marijuana industry. Hundreds of applicants who didn't win licenses are complaining about the criteria the state used to make those decisions.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reviewed records and business registration reports related to the awarding of 338 licenses to grow, process and sell marijuana in Missouri.
