I was selected to participate in the OLCC's Rules Advisory Committee (RAC) on Metrics and Tracking. There were maybe 60 people in the room which was packed with industry stake holders, producers, processors, wholesalers, the OMMP, the OLCC and the public. The audience was about 60% male, 40% female, and 3 brown people, me included. The purpose of the meeting was to review draft language changes to the Division 25 Rules Package. Mostly the changes to the rule’s language seemed intended to clarify and bring things into line with the OMMP. Some interesting parts of the dialog centered around- The Medical Bump-up provision, allowing OLCC producers to grow Cannabis for OMMP medical patients. The provision allows producers to dedicate up to 10% of their canopy to grow cannabis for OMMP patients and allowing the producer to keep 25% of their yield for re-sell. ORS 845-025-2500
- Also did you know that OMMP grow sites can transfer up to 20lbs per year to OLCC retailers? Very exciting.
- There was a lot of discussion about allowing delivery drivers up to 96 hours to complete round-robin style delivery manifests where a delivery is manifested from and to the same location but on a route that takes it past several delivery stops.
It is my opinion that the commission seems interested in making rules that make the industry function better. If you have any questions about my experience at the RAC please give me a call. - Raja (971) 276 - 3371
