Therefore, CTS is not a true вЂњseed-to-saleвЂќ tracking system and arguably permits diversion of products grown by licensed producers to the gray market.

The published FAQ states that individual plants must be tracked once they reach 24 inches in height, and immature plants may be included in a larger lot under a single tracked identification. The OLCC cannabis tracking system (CTS) does not currently require that producers track immature plants. A priority of the Cole Memo is to prevent diversion of cannabis from states where it is legal to other states. While the reasoning for expanding the OLCCвЂ™s control over immature plant canopies remains unclear, the likely explanation is that the state wants additional control and oversight to avoid conflict with the 2013 Cole Memo. SB 1057 expands on the OLCC obligation to regulate both immature plant canopies and mature plant canopies. Section 57 will amend ORS 475B.075 such that the OLCC will be required to regulate both immature and mature plant canopies and to take into consideration the market demand for adult-use cannabis in the state and whether the availability of adult-use cannabis is commensurate with market demand.Д®ven without SB 1057, the OLCC is obligated to regulate mature plant canopies to ensure a balance of supply and demand. Section 56 of SB 1057 will remove these restrictions on OLCC regulation of immature plants and immature plant canopies. (The term flowering is not defined by statute.) ORSВ 475.070(3)(B) currently limits OLCC control over (i) the number of immature plants possessed by a producer, (ii) the size of the grow canopy a producer uses to grow immature plants, and (iii) the weight or size of shipments of immature plants made by a producer. SB 1057 removes a Measure 91 restriction on the OLCC regulation of immature plants, which are any plants that are not flowering.

Two notable provisions would affect adult-use cannabis businesses operating in Oregon: The bill primarily addresses the Oregon Liquor Control CommissionвЂ™s (OLCC) control over the stateвЂ™s medical cannabis program and includes seed-to-sale tracking requirements for cannabis businesses. The Oregon Legislature recently passed Senate Bill 1057, which currently sits on the GovernorвЂ™s desk awaiting her signature.
