Commission backs letter supporting local medical cannabis pharmacy application
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to approve a letter of support for FujaMed, a locally based medical cannabis processor and pharmacy applicant, noting local nonprofit leadership and the company’s request for a county endorsement as it applies under new state rules.
The Grand County Commission on July 1 approved a letter of support endorsing a local firm’s application to operate a medical cannabis pharmacy in Moab. The company, FujaMed, represented at the meeting by Joshua and Olivia Kulander, described a locally led operation and asked for the county’s written support as the state opens a licensing window.
Chair Winfield and several commissioners said they backed a local applicant rather than an out‑of‑area commercial operator. Commissioners approved the letter unanimously; staff will forward the county’s endorsement to state officials as the applicant completes the formal licensing process.
The commission’s letter of support confirms the county’s recognition of the applicant and does not represent a license grant. State licensing processes and required health‑care controls remain under state agencies’ jurisdiction, and the commission’s endorsement does not change or replace that review.
