Note the wording in the article:
Dispensaries in Hawaii were legally allowed to open in July, but none were ready.
So many shades of half-truth. Yes, dispensaries could technically open in July, but they would not be allowed to actually sell any marijuana product because the State isn't ready.
unclear whether openings will be delayed by issues such as a the lack of laboratories
Same as above: no sales without tracking (not yet available, but State has "signed a contract") or lab certification (for which State has received no applications).
There's probably another lawsuit in there somewhere -- maybe State can pay for legal defense with the $1M in application fees they collected?
