Alaska: Marijuana Control Board applicants vie for 5 open seats

More than 100 Alaskans are vying for a spot on the Marijuana Control Board, Alaska’s new regulatory body that will craft the state’s marijuana regulations, according to documents released by the state. Among the list of applicants are marijuana initiative supporters, business owners, a few people who spoke out against the initiative, and the attorney who represented the famous "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" case. 

The 132 applicants are hoping to fill one of five seats on the board. One member will come from the public safety sector; one from the public health sector; one from the marijuana industry; one person either from the general public or the marijuana industry; and one person will be chosen who lives in a rural area (defined as a community of 7,000 or less, off the road system, or on the road system with a population of 2,000 or less).
