The only reference to contractors appears to refer to officers of an establishment for listing on the establishment agency license.

Officers of an Establishment??? Nice try. Let's see it in the statute. Let's see you make sense of the phrase "employed by an independent contractor" which is sprinkled throughout the statute. Here's the whole section on Agent Licenses. Please point out where it's restricted to "officers of an establishment"...

As an agent, mCig wouldn't formally buy product and resell it. Technically they would just be passing through money's collected to the cultivator. However, the end result is the same. mCig would negotiate with the cultivator how much compensation they get for their service and keep whatever markup over and above what the cultivator wants for it's raw MJ as commission. The only requirement is that all production needs to done on a licensed facility, which includes both the grower and dispensaries.
