There are still some open questions about how the state will implement its two year old Medical Marijuana law.
The state has not said how dispensaries of the drug should be regulated so some cities allow the dispensaries and others do not.
These differences have put a few cities in court. Advocates say the state is missing an opportunity by not regulating the dispensaries.
Karen O’Keefe is with the Marijuana Policy Project, a supporter of the original law.
"States that have regulated dispensing, a lot of them subject medical marijuana to sales tax. Some of them also have modest business taxes and there are fees. So in addition to helping patients have access and clearing up some of the confusion that localities are facing it would help the state financially."
Groups on both sides of the issue plan to continue to push the state to weigh in on the issue this year.
