Another delay of Louisiana’s medical marijuana program means MMJ products likely won’t be available in the state until May at the earliest, according to The Times-Picayune of New Orleans.

The lack of an independent testing lab in large part has been holding up the program, which initially was expected to launch in late 2018.
