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.

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."
