New ApplicationsIt could take more than a year for new applicants since they would have to have their buliding built and ready before they apply. This would weed out (no pun intended) anybody that has applied for a license and is sitting on it for whatever reason (lack of funding, experience etc.). This would bode well for anyone that already has their building in place as all the major hurdles have been cleared. It would also add significant value to these companies as they are already full invested in their project. That being said, the value lies in not only the license but also the facilty. Companies like Sugarbud that have thier building in place and a license, more than likely in the near, near future, should see tremendous upside in its stock price almost immediately.
