Interview with Director of Medical-Marijuana Testing Lab

The San Jose Mercury News recently ran an interview of the director of SC Laboratories, an enterprise that specializes in testing for medical-marijuana specs. The lab's head (no pun intended), Josh Wurzer, offered some interesting insights into this largely unregulated business. He also has some tongue-in-cheek comments that are pretty funny.

Wurzer, by the way, is from Wisconsin. According to the Mercury News story, Wurzer's father worked for the Green Bay Packers for many years. Wurzer fils worked on the sports desk of the Green Bay daily newspaper. You'll find those details, and others, in Mercury News staffer Patrick May's brief piece.

WeedMaps, cited in May's article, is a "free cannabis dispensary website," according to the Wikipedia entry on it. The website's premise is that it provides a forum where medical-marijuana users or prospective users may freely communicate and determine the quality of legal pot providers.

As Wurzer pointed out, the medical-marijuana industry is a largely unregulated one. For the time being, most information on sources and their quality belongs to word-of-mouth's uncertain world.
