The prevalence of testing laboratories in any given state depends on a few factors: legalization status, state laws regarding testing, and strictness of regulations. Labs typically appear as stand-alone, third-party entities. Though not common, some testing laboratories are located within dispensaries (e.g., Champlain Valley Dispensary in Vermont[1]) and treatment centers (e.g., Sanctuary ATC in New Hampshire.[2]).

The following are known active cannabis testing labs (those currently in the licensing process are not included):


Alabama

As of July 2022, the state is still in the process of finalizing rules and regulations for its program.


Alaska


Arizona:


Arkansas:


California:


Colorado:


Connecticut:


Delaware:


District of Columbia:

D.C. is still seeking a lab to take on testing as of mid-2021.[6]


Florida:


Georgia:

As of July 2022, the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission (GMCC) has not yet opened up applications for laboratory testing licenses.[7]


Hawaii:


Illinois:


Iowa:


Louisiana:

Due to an absence of independent testing labs, the Louisiana Department of Agriculture was testing, as of October 2018[8] The Department of Agriculture was jointly working with the LSU AgCenter's Agricultural Chemistry Department to test for the state's fledgling medical marijuana program.[9]

In July 2022, news broke that the state had amended medical marijuana statute to allow The University of Louisiana's Monroe School of Pharmacy "to provide lab testing services for purity and potency to the state’s medical cannabis industry," with an engineering and construction phase for the associated facility beginning in early 2023.[10]


Maine:


Maryland:


Massachusetts:


Michigan:


Minnesota:

Not clear; independent labs must be approved by Commissioner of Health.[11] Two labs—Aspen Research Corporation and Legend Technical Services, Inc.—were approved to do testing in 2015, but neither lists those services on their website.[12]


Mississippi:

  • Steep Hill, Inc.


Missouri:

Medical marijuana passed in November 2018.[13] In late December 2019, Missouri announced a list of 10 labs that were approved for medical marijuana testing.[14]


Montana:


Nevada:


New Hampshire:

The state mandates testing, but it's not clear which independent laboratories are approved to do so. Alternative treatment centers may be responsible for own testing. Nelson Analytical, LLC may be licensed to test cannabis in New Hampshire, but it's not clear.


New Jersey:

Cannabis testing is mostly performed by the Department of Health and Senior Services.[15] However, Cannalytics, LLC and Steep Hill, Inc. may also be licensed to test in New Jersey.


New Mexico:


New York:

"The Department's Wadsworth Center Laboratory will perform initial testing and analysis of final medical marijuana products until independent laboratories receive certification from the New York State Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP)."[16]

  • Kaycha Holdings, LLC


North Carolina:


North Dakota:

The state mandates that its compassion centers must test cannabis in-house or have it done by a contracted facility.[17] Currently Keystone State Testing, LLC DBA Dakota State Testing is the only option, selected by the state for testing in May 2018.[18]


Ohio:


Oklahoma:

The deadline for laboratory testing to be mandated got bumped to April 1, 2020.[19]


Oregon


Pennsylvania:


Rhode Island:

Rhode Island Department of Health began taking applications for testing labs in September 2018.[20] Currently approved is East Coast Labs, LLC and Green Peaks Analytical.


Utah:

Medical marijuana passed in November 2018 and the state was still working on laboratory testing terms.[21] In November 2019, the application process for laboratories opened up.[22]


Vermont:

The Department of Public Safety "may require laboratory testing of cannabis produced by a registered dispensary. The Department may specify the testing methodology. The registered dispensary shall bear the costs of any testing required by the Department."[23]


Washington:


West Virginia:

As of late 2018, West Virginia was still working on developing its medical cannabis program. Draft legislation says the Bureau for Public Health will be responsible for approving testing laboratories.[25] An update to its "Growers/Processors/Dispensaries/Laboratories" FAQ was made in February 2020[26], and the application period for such businesses was set to close on February 18, 2020.[26]
