HONOLULU (AP) " Medical marijuana dispensaries can now legally open in Hawaii, but not one is ready to do so. Hawaii announced licensees selected to open the state's first medical marijuana dispensaries in April. Hawaii was among the first states to legalize medical marijuana more than 15 years ago, but dispensaries were only legalized last year. The state Department of Health said none of the state's eight dispensaries was approved to open by July 15, the first day they were allowed by law. One big hurdle is the state hasn't certified a lab to test the dispensaries' products.
