OLCC prepares for recreational cannabis business

In order to be ready well beforehand to take applications for recreational dispensaries on January 4, 2016, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) recently adopted temporary rules to regulate the industry.

The temporary rules will take effect January 1, 2016 and will remain in place until June 28, 2016 or whenever the OLCC adopts permanent rules.

Last month, Rob Partridge, OLCC chair said the temporary rules mark “another milestone in Oregon’s effort to establish a robust, safe, and well-regulated recreational marijuana industry.”

Commissioners approved 78 pages of temporary Oregon Administrative Rules that will provide a regulatory framework for the recreational marijuana industry.  The rules cover every segment of the industry supply chain, from growers to retailers.

The rules were developed in 38 separate meetings plus public hearings, and included input from more than 100 representatives from industry, law enforcement, local government and community stakeholders.
