(AP)- People in need of medical marijuana in the state of Minnesota are a step closer to receiving the medicinal drug.The Minnesota Department of Health says it has received 29 letters of intent from people interested in growing medical marijuana under the state's new program.
Friday was the deadline for companies to submit a letter of intent.
Applications are due Oct. 3.
Two manufacturers will be selected in December.
Potential investors must pay a $20,000 nonrefundable fee just to apply.
The two companies chosen will process marijuana into non-smokeable drugs for patients who suffer from serious conditions such as aids, cancer or multiple sclerosis.
