SUMMARY: The Mississippi State Department of Health put an administrative hold on numerous medical cannabis products due to discrepancies in original test results for pesticides and mycotoxins by Rapid Analytics. A state lab started retesting on Wednesday, a process expected to last 2-3 weeks. Products will be released each Friday post-approval. Testing priorities are flower/bud, concentrates, and then infused products.
