After years of debate, the state’s medical marijuana law was signed in April. It will allow patients suffering from certain conditions to obtain medical cannabis products from dispensaries after receiving certification from a doctor.

Since the law’s approval, the department has released a public survey about regulations for growers, processors, dispensaries and laboratories; created the physician workgroup for medical input; and worked on the information technology solutions for tracking medical marijuana.

The first Medical Marijuana Physician Workgroup will meet in the next few weeks, health officials said. That group will provide input on the regulations and implementation of the medical marijuana law and research.
