Medical cannabis growers and testing labs in MS (Mississippi) now have until Oct. 29 to prepare for new flower testing standards that initially went into effect in July.

The Mississippi Medical Cannabis Program, overseen by the Mississippi State Department of Health, released a new 60-day pause on yeast- and mold-testing standards on Aug. 30 after several medical cannabis testing lab owners, growers and dispensary owners said the new testing regulations were hurting growers, costing them more money and so needed more time to prepare.
