The Pacific Daily News reports that the marijuana program, approved by voters in the 2014 General Election, can't start without a testing laboratory. Department of Public Health and Social Services Acting Director Leo Casil said on Thursday that the program is at "a standstill."
Sen. Dennis Rodriguez, who wrote the medical marijuana rules and regulations bill, has said the lack of testing lab applicants could be attributed to a lack of regulations.
