“Medical marijuana patients inOklahomadeserveto know that the products they rely on are safe, accurately tested, and held to consistent standards,” Rosecrants said.

Rosecrants noted that the interim study will provide an opportunity for regulators, medical marijuana patients, laboratories and industry representatives to discuss the state’s existing system and possible improvements.

“This interim study is an opportunity to bring regulators, patients, laboratories, and industry stakeholders to the same table, examine what’s working and what isn’t, and identify ways to strengthen safety, transparency, accountability, and public confidence in Oklahoma’s medical marijuana program,” he said.
