SQ went into effect on July 26 after voters passed the measure with a 57 percent measure the previous month.
The question hit snags after being passed by voters, as the board of health amended rules on the question, which were later revised after pushback from the state's attorney general and pro-marijuana groups.
The next big date for medical marijuana is Aug. 25. That's when the Department of Health plans to have in place the forms physicians will be required to submit if they recommend cannabis to patients. Those patients will also be able to apply for a medical marijuana license.
