Tim McCorkle, 47, at right, owner of Tytan Health Care, a CBD store in Fenton, works with his master grower, Jordan Carber, 23, in his lab on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2020. They were pressing marijuana buds to create a more powerful level of efficacy for medicating. McCorkle is appealing the ruling after his store did not receive one of the dispensary licenses to sell medical marijuana. McCorkle said he has already invested a great deal of money to get his store ready to sell medical marijuana. "This is a life-long dream and I'm not going to let it go. Period," he said. "It is a moment in history that we're not going to let pass by." Photo by J.B. Forbes, jforbes@post-dispatch.com
