Allow Cannabis Agency to Run Lab for Testing and Research on Marijuana

This bill would let Michigan’s cannabis regulatory agency create and operate its own marijuana testing lab. With this change, the agency could directly collect, transport, and analyze marijuana samples to support investigations, improve testing methods, and conduct research. The goal is to strengthen oversight of the cannabis industry and ensure product safety by allowing the state to double-check the work of private labs and respond quickly to concerns like contamination or mislabeling. The bill also includes safeguards to prevent conflicts of interest among agency staff.
