North Dakota health officials are gauging interest among laboratories in the state in testing medical marijuana.

The state Health Department is seeking non-binding letters of intent from laboratories by the close of business on Aug. 25.

The agency is establishing a system for making medical marijuana legally available to patients. North Dakota voters last November approved the drug and state government earlier this year approved regulations.

The Health Department earlier this summer sought letters of intent from groups and businesses interested in producing or dispensing medical marijuana, and received nearly 100 responses.

Health officials hope medical marijuana can be available to patients by late spring or early summer next year. The North Dakota Compassionate Care Act allows the use of the drug for 17 medical conditions, along with terminal illnesses.
