Marijuana Testing Hampered by Lack of Consistency, Lab Shopping

Oklahoma's medical marijuana testing system is struggling with inconsistencies in lab results, raising concerns about patient safety and the reliability of potency measurements. Some labs are reportedly offering better outcomes, prompting what's being called "lab shopping," which skews data and compromises quality control. The state's quality assurance lab, established three years ago, is still not fully accredited, further complicating oversight. This situation underscores the need for better regulation and standardization in medical marijuana testing to ensure patient safety and trust.
