“But not one recreational marijuana shop has been permitted to open.
State law requires samples be tested to ensure that marijuana products are safe to ingest. A big reason for the delay is the state has yet to grant final certification to laboratories to do such testing on recreational marijuana -- even though labs have been testing marijuana for medicinal use for years.
"It's the same clients, the same product and the same kind of testing," said Christopher Hudalla, chief scientific officer of ProVerde Laboratories in Milford, one of three labs the state has certified to test medical marijuana.”
Here’s the root of the problem. SMH
“Since ProVerde, along with MCR Labs in Framingham and CDX Analytics in Salem, are already testing pot from medical producers, why can't they also test weed from recreational marijuana companies?
"That's the million-dollar question," Hudalla said.
The answer is that, for now, labs that test medical marijuana are certified by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and labs that will test recreational marijuana must be certified by the state Cannabis Control Commission. And the commission has yet to complete the certification process to let such labs begin testing.”
