(SALEM, Ore.) - The effective date for marijuana labeling, product serving size, and concentration limits requirements for Oregon dispensaries and producers has been extended from April 1 to June 1, 2016.

The Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division is temporarily amending administrative rules in chapter 333, division 7 related to marijuana labeling, serving size and concentration limits.

The temporary amendments are to extend the effective date of the labeling and product serving size and concentration limits requirements from April 1, 2016, to June 1, 2016, due to the time needed for dispensaries and producers to adhere to rule changes.

The Oregon Health Authority is currently working with a rules advisory committee on permanent rules related to marijuana labeling, serving size and concentration limits.

The permanent rules will have different requirements than what is currently adopted in temporary rules filed November 13, 2015. An extension of the effective date from April 1, 2016, to June 1, 2016, will allow medical marijuana dispensaries and producers to only have to adhere to the final permanent rule changes, rather than have to comply with one standard on April 1, 2016, and then a different standard when the permanent rules are filed and effective.

This rulemaking is effective through June 28, 2016. It is the Authority’s intention to begin the process to make these rules permanent.
