A totally deceptive claim. The PR talks about two licenses. It says mCig is "seeking" a license for manufacturing medical marijuana. These licenses are currently available and would allow them to cultivate MJ. "Seeking" doesn't necessarily mean "applying". They could be looking to buy such a license.
The Second license is for commercial production. These licenses aren't available until 2018 and no one can actually apply yet since the legislature hasn't yet finalized the rules. They can only begin to prepare what they think will need to complete the application requirements.
