North Dakota regulators are proposing rules that would allow for the sale of medical cannabis in “11 to 13 months,” Valley News Live reported.
The latest timetable for the launch of MMJ sales conflicts with one the health department laid out in July.
Here’s what you need to know:
- The proposed rules include requirements for security, lab testing and transportation.
- The health department plans to file all required information no later than Feb. 1 and to present the rules to the legislature’s Administrative Rules Committee. The agency will take public comment through Dec. 26.
- Jason Wahl was appointed interim director of North Dakota’s medical marijuana division, according to the Bismarck Tribune. He replaces retiring Kenan Bullinger, effective Nov. 1.
- North Dakota voters approved medical marijuana in November 2016, and the governor signed off on preliminary regulations in April.
