New year, new Cannabis regulations!
Cannabis is a growing industry, and as recreational and medical programs progress they get feedback from consumers and cultivators that impact regulation.
2022 should be great for Oregon consumers and here's why...
Now you will be able to purchase up to 2 oz of flower per dispensary per day compared to the 1 oz you have been limited to previously.
Edibles dosage limitations are jumping up from 50 mg per package to 100 mg per package.
Both of these changes will allow Oregon consumers to buy a bit more in bulk. This could mean less packaging which is better for the environment and would allow consumers to get discounts to encourage buying in bulk to help with the excess of cannabis that we have had since legalization.
At home cannabis delivery will now be able to travel over county lines. So more delivery services can expand their service area. This is a great addition with covid still being an issue.
The THC amount you are allowed to have in hemp will now be up to 20 mg per container.
And something I'm excited about, there is even more infrastructure in place to make it easy to export cannabis from Oregon once national legalization is in place.
I have said this before, once we have national legalization a lot of states will be getting their cannabis from Oregon the same way you get orange juice from Florida. We have produced an excess of cannabis every year of legalization because the terroir allows for incredible outdoor cannabis growth. This could be really beneficial to states like Arizona or Nevada that have extreme heat and have to spend so much money on indoor growing facilities. In Oregon we have all of the elements for cannabis to grow easily and to be lush, in Nevada you are probably going to spend a million dollars a month on water, air conditioning and lights to grow cannabis. So it just makes more sense for other states to buy our excess. It would cost less and be better for the environment. This would also create more jobs around state to state distribution.
Whenever we get national legalization make sure you're looking for that "Made in Oregon" sticker!
Which of these changes are you most excited about??
