The state has a new director of their medical marijuana program.
The Department of Health named Laura Mentch as the new director of the program.
“I look forward to honoring the trust you’ve bestowed upon me with this position and for this outstanding program,” Mentch said. “I’m excited to get into the weeds of everything you have going on here.”
Mentch comes to the position after serving as a medical marijuana pharmacist. She’ll replace Joan Collins, who was named the first director of the program back in 2016.
