Citing patient safety concerns, every state-licensed lab in Michigan is urging state officials to reverse a recent decision allowing for sales of untested medical marijuana.
Last week Bureau of Marijuana Regulation officials decided to allow a number of unlicensed provisioning centers to temporarily reopen, and to allow provisioning centers to purchase marijuana from caregivers and sell it untested until March 31. Regulators were responding to a medical marijuana shortage in the state.
The Michigan Coalition of Independent Cannabis Testing Laboratories sent a letter to state officials Jan. 18, claiming the sale of untested caregiver marijuana "poses a serious safety risk to Michigan's patient population."
