The state's medical marijuana program been delayed since it's authorization in 2011, due to the fear of federal interference.
A spokesman for Markell said the governor is "committed to implementing a reliable program that minimizes the risk of federal interference and meets the needs of medical marijuana patients.
"The priority now is getting the first dispensary up and running well," Markell spokesman Jonathon Dworkin said in an email.
