A pharmaceutical processor is a facility that has obtained a permit from the Board of Pharmacy pursuant to § 54.1-3408.3 to cultivate Cannabis plants for the production of cannabis oil, and dispense the oil to patients registered by the Board of Pharmacy for treatment or to alleviate the symptoms of any diagnosed condition or disease determined by the physician to benefit from such use. As set forth in §54.1-3442.6 of the Code of Virginia, the Board may issue or renew in any year a maximum of 5 permits, one for each health service area established by the Board of Health. This RFA is for Health Service Area I only. The application process for pharmaceutical processor permits will occur in three stages: submission of initial application, awarding of conditional approval, and granting of a pharmaceutical processor permit.
