North Dakota State lawmakers signed off on rules for North Dako- ta’s developing medical marijuana program, a necessary move if MMJ sales are to begin later this year. The legisla- ture’s Administrative Rules Committee reviewed dozens of pages covering such areas as testing, security and transportation requirements. The committee didn’t take a formal vote on the regulations but also did not call for any changes or a delay in implementing them, effectively approving them. State voters approved medical mari- juana in November 2016, and the health department is aiming to launch medical cannabis sales late this year. Oregon State lawmakers have dedicated an extra $1.5 million to local law enforcement agencies to combat illegal cannabis businesses in poorer counties. The move was largely in response to a summit hosted by a U.S. attorney who warned that if states don’t do more to combat the illicit trade, the federal government may “step up enforcement of federal anti-marijuana laws.” Counties that may receive portions of the funding include Josephine, Jackson, Curry, Coos and Douglas, all in southern Oregon.
