Ohio regulators did not collect and review applications for medical marijuana growers in a controlled environment, limiting the ability to perform a reliable audit. That was the conclusion of accounting firm Ernst & Young, which performed an analysis for the state of the scoring process for applications to grow weed under Ohio's new Medical Marijuana Control Program. The state's licensing process for growers has been called into question in lawsuits and administrative appeals brought by a number of unsuccessful applicants. And the Ohio Department of Commerce, which is one of three state agencies regulating the MMCP, acknowledged that an inadvertent scoring error prevented one company, PharmaCann, from qualifying for a grower's license.
