Maryland's health secretary said he opposes legislation as currently drafted to legalize medical marijuana in the state.
Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, head of the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, told a panel of lawmakers Monday that there are several challenges to implementing the measure.
Sharfstein said the bill would require a separate office be established and oversight of the system would require a significant investment in infrastructure.
Delegate Dan Morhaim, a Baltimore County Democrat who is sponsoring the bill, said he's ready to work with the department to address the secretary's concerns.
