OLCC, OHA to Provide Show & Tell Forum to Explain Pre-Approval Process
An update from the OLCC
Portland, Oregon - The Oregon Liquor Control Commission and the Oregon Health Authority will hold a workshop to provide an overview of the medical and recreational marijuana product labeling and packaging pre-approval process on Monday, February 22, 2016 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at OLCC Headquarters at 9079 SE McLoughlin Blvd., Portland, OR 97222.
Products for Oregon’s regulated medical and recreational marijuana markets need to follow specific labeling and packaging requirements. Packaged products currently sold at medical marijuana dispensaries must meet the labeling and packaging standard before June 1, 2016. After June 1, 2016 new medical marijuana packaged products, and recreational marijuana packaged goods must meet the standard before being made available for retail sale.
The purpose of the workshop is to educate registrants, future licensees, and the public about the pre-approval process for packaging and labeling. Representatives from OHA and OLCC will provide information on the rules and the OLCC will walk-through the pre-approval process using a packaging example.
After the agency presentations, attendees can ask questions about packaging and labeling. The meeting will not be a place for people to comment on the rules themselves but rather a place to answer any questions and provide feedback regarding the pre-approval process.
Audio from the meeting will be recorded and posted on the OLCC recreational marijuana website afterward.
Additional information about labeling and packaging can be found on the OLCC recreational marijuana website.
