CO2 & EDIBLES LEGALIZED FOR REC

CO2 & EDIBLES LEGALIZED FOR REC

We bought a new house and 6 acres. Have a few strains started now for my outdoor. And some genetics on the way to start a small breeding program.

You're gonna need to buy a bong too or else you're gonna feel real funny sitting in your house with 6 tons of flower and now way to smoke it lmao.

So what does everyone make of this: http://www.oregonlive.com/marijuana/index.ssf/2016/02/pot_bill_kate_brown.html

"SB 1511, approved 46-9, expands the products people 21 and older may purchase from dispensaries before the Oregon Liquor Control Commission assumes control of recreational sales later this year. For now, those sales are limited to flowers, seeds and young marijuana plants. The bill expands those options to include concentrates and edibles"

I looked in the text of the bill for more info and it seems like its CO2 carts only and far as concentrates go (I was hoping for all solventless cause I love hashish), but I couldn't find the date it starts on or the serving size of the recreational edibles.

Dope Magazine's Portland event this weekend won't include marijuana consumption

Dope Magazine's Portland event this weekend won't include marijuana consumption

Anyone going to this??


For months, Dope Magazine billed its upcoming celebration of cannabis as a black tie affair, complete with a red carpet.

Naturally, guests would get a chance to sample some of the finest goods Oregon's newly legal marijuana industry has to offer.

The celebration will go on as planned Saturday but the promise of cannabis consumption? Not so much.

As Oregon enters the era of legal marijuana, issues related to where people may light up remain complicated.

Public consumption, for instance, is off-limits. Lighting up in work places, like an event venue, also is prohibited due to the state's clean indoor air law. So is offering cannabis when someone has paid to get into an event because that transaction falls outside of regulated marijuana sales.

Dope Magazine, a lifestyle and culture publication dedicated to promoting pot paid $60,000 to put on the event, renting Pure Space in Northwest Portland with the understanding that its 600 or so guests would be allowed to snack on marijuana-infused edibles and dab concentrates, said Michael Fox, the company's state director for Oregon.

But Duane Smith, president of the company that owns Pure Space, decided the rules around cannabis consumption are ambiguous. He said he worries that West Coast Event Productions could face fines for violating indoor air rules.

He also worries the event could be considered public, meaning no cannabis consumption is allowed.

"I think it's unclear," Smith said. "If I knew it was legal, of course they could do it."

A spokesman for the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which oversees recreational marijuana, said the Dope event doesn't violate agency rules, which prohibit establishments with liquor licenses from allowing cannabis consumption because licensed establishments are considered public spaces.

But, added spokesman Mark Pettinger, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's OK to light up.

"We can't bless your event because you passed our test," he said. "There are other regulatory agencies that come into play."

Victor Salinas, marijuana policy coordinator for Portland, said edibles may be handed out in certain circumstances. But they can''t be distributed if people paid admission, for instance. Fox said the company gave away most tickets but sold some for $30.

Salinas also said dabbing would be a violation of indoor clean air rules.

Though Oregon's Indoor Clean Air Act was implemented in 2009, lawmakers last year expanded it to prohibit the use of devices like vaporizer pens and e-cigarettes in public areas and work places. Marijuana was also added to the law, which initially targeted only tobacco.

@pdx dopesmoker, I have a few bongs, pipes, etc, but like your idea. I need a new one. Hmm, something sickeningly cool. I'll work on it, lol.

And I totally agree about solvent less extraction. I LOVE good hash.
 
Here are a couple of my future ladies;

And I totally agree about solvent less extraction. I LOVE good hash.

This is the text of the bill with respect to important changes of the current "early sales" program by which med dispensaries currently sell to the general public
"(e) The medical marijuana dispensary sells no more than one single-serving, low-dose unit of limited marijuana retail product to the person per day if the person is purchasing a cannabinoid edible; and
(f) The medical marijuana dispensary sells no more than one receptacle of limited marijuana retail product to the person per day if the person is purchasing a prefilled recep- tacle of a cannabinoid extract."


I skimmed the good parts of the bill just now and it defines a concentrate as:
"[(3)] (2) “Cannabinoid concentrate” means a substance obtained by separating cannabinoids from
marijuana by:
(a) A mechanical extraction process;
(b) A chemical extraction process using a nonhydrocarbon-based or other solvent, such as water, vegetable glycerin, vegetable oils, animal fats, isopropyl alcohol or ethanol;
(c) A chemical extraction process using the hydrocarbon-based solvent carbon dioxide, provided that the process does not involve the use of high heat or pressure; or
(d) Any other process identified by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, in consultation with the Oregon Health Authority, by rule."

and an extract as
""Cannabinoid extract” means a substance obtained by separating cannabinoids from marijuana by:
(a) A chemical extraction process using a hydrocarbon-based solvent, such as butane, hexane or propane;
(b) A chemical extraction process using the hydrocarbon-based solvent carbon dioxide, if the process uses high heat or pressure; or
(c) Any other process identified by the commission, in consultation with the authority, by rule."

So hash still requires a card, but "pre-filled receptacles" of BHO and CO2 errrls may be purchased by discerning members of the general public.
 
Which breeder did those come from Camo?

The BL crosses are from Papa Payne. Local guy doing great things.

The Fruit Punch is by Heavyweight seeds and the Iced Grapefruit was a freebie from Femenised Seeds.

Waiting for delivery of Jabbas Stash, Ogji and Love triangle (Bodhi). Also have a Pyramid seeds Tutankhamen, Lemon Shine #4 x Blueberry, Cherry Pie x Blue Lotus, Marmalate. Picking up a special order of clones that include: Chernobyl Golden Ticket, Grape Ape, Gorilla Spirit, Sour Cherry, Cherry Pie and Dog KUSH.

Other than that......not running much:dance013:

No. That is a recreational-only bill.

The residency requirement you are referring to is for OMMP.

My wife is an immigrant from Russia and has been here less than 2 years. I had to list myself as grower.

World Famous Cannabis Cafe to close due to Oregon's clean air law

World Famous Cannabis Cafe to close due to Oregon's clean air law

The owner of the World Famous Cannabis Café announced Monday that she will close her doors next week after another warning by public health officials that the establishment violates indoor air rules.

The cafe will host its final Stoner Bingo session March 7, said Madeline Martinez, a longtime marijuana legalization advocate and owner of the business, which offers people 21 and older a place to socialize and use cannabis.

She doesn't want to face fines for violating the law, she said.

The decision follows an unannounced visit last week by Erik Vidstrand, a Multnomah County tobacco program specialist, to the Southeast Foster Road cafe, Martinez said. Vidstrand pointed out ashtrays and remnants of smoked joints and reminded her that smoking is not allowed in the cafe under state law, she said.

"I told them they are infringing on my constitutional rights," said Martinez, whose patrons must bring their own marijuana to consume at the club. "I have a right to gather peacefully. That is what I am exercising. They are very concerned about the toxicity (of cannabis smoke), which is ridiculous."

Who Needs to Get Pre-Approval for Packaging and Labeling?

Who Needs to Get Pre-Approval for Packaging and Labeling?

The OLCC has created a process to evaluate packaging and labeling to determine whether it meets the requirements set out by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and the OLCC.

For Recreational Marijuana
OLCC Licensees who hold a Producer, Processor, Wholesale, or Retailer license and who are packaging and/or labeling products for ultimate sale to a consumer must receive pre-approval from the Commission prior to selling or transferring any marijuana item to a consumer.



For Medical Marijuana
Registrants who are registered with the Oregon Health Authority and who are packaging and/or labeling products for ultimate sale to a consumer must receive pre-approval from the Commission before June 1, 2016.
“Registrant” means a medical cannabis producer, grower, marijuana processing site, or a medical marijuana dispensary.


To begin the pre-approval process, licensees and registrants must submit:
1. A prototype of packaging with the label affixed to the package;
2. Correct fee amount ($100 for each packaging pre-approval request and $100 for each labeling pre-approval request);
3. A complete application; and
4. A photograph of the marijuana product that will be sold inside the package.

The pre-approval process will not begin until all items have been received by the Commission. You will be notified by email once your application is complete.
