Growing and possession
A grower may produce marijuana for up to four medical marijuana patients at the same time.
A grower may grow up to six mature plants and 18 seedlings or starts at a registered growsite for each patient who gets marijuana from the grower.
損 Seedling or start must meet the following criteria or it is considered a mature plant:
No flowers;
Less than 12 inches in height;
Less than 12 inches in diameter.
損 Mature plant means a marijuana plant that does not fall within the definition of a seedling or a start.
損 Immature plant has the same meaning as seedling or start.
A patient and his or her grower and caregiver may possess a combined total of up to 24 ounces of usable marijuana.
Almost 70, 000 patients, 35,000 caregivers and 45, 488 growers in Oregons Medical Cannabis Program.
Books, Websites, Articles, classes and more are available now for medicinal purposes, but will be available for recreational after July.
OAR 333-008-1190 requires us to perform the following consumer safety assays:
potency, specifically THC and CBD
total yeast & mold count must be below 10,000 CFU/g for flowers and 1,000 CFU/g for extracts
pesticide residues must be below 0.1ppm, specifically:
organochlorines
organophosphates
pyrethroids
carbamates
Most labs test for more cannabinoids than just the two above. For example, we also test for THCA, CBDA, CBN, and CBG. Each cannabinoid has it's own unique pharmacology, and synergistic effects with other compounds in the plant.
We also test for the following data, which is primarily for product development and informational purposes:
terpenes
THC:CBD ratio, for early determination of CBD potential, so cultivators don't have to waste resources on non-CBD strains
early sex determination for seedlings, so cultivators can cull males early to save resources (males are non-desirable)
residual solvents, to determine levels of remaining solvents in solvent-based extracts
pesticide swab service, for determination of contamination in a grow facility (ig: walls, floors, ventilation systems, etc)
custom services - for example, a gentleman wanted us to see if the Viton seal on his extraction equipment was leaching into his solvents, so we tested for the Viton.
We test all types of consumable products, from flower to extracts, to edibles and topicals, including coffee drinks, pizza, bath salts, and lip balms.
