Upcoming 420 sale from Gold Coast Terpenes

Those sound like botanical blends. Can you provide the required paperwork to use them in the OR rec market?

See: OAR 845-025-3265 – Inhalable Cannabinoid Product Processor Requirements

Per OLCC, neither Hemp nor Cannabis derived are usable (directly) from out of state sources…

In Oregon, the type of cannabis the terpenes are derived from makes a difference.

Under Oregon law, anything derived from marijuana is a “marijuana item” and is regulated under the state’s marijuana program. The cannabinoid content does not matter, just the source. OLCC licensees cannot receive marijuana items from outside of Oregon’s regulated system. So there is no pathway for marijuana-derived terpenes to enter the OLCC-regulated system.

Hemp-derived terpenes are a “hemp item” and are able to enter the system in the same way as any other hemp item. They would have to come from an ODA-licensed hemp handler with an OLCC hemp certificate. The hemp certificate holder can enter the terpenes into their Metrc account, then order the required compliance testing (including a potency test). If it passes compliance testing, then they can transfer to any OLCC-licensed processor with a hemp endorsement via a licensed transfer in Metrc. Because of the way the legislature wrote the law for hemp entering the OLCC-regulated marijuana system, there is no way for an OLCC-licensed processor to receive hemp terpenes directly from an out-of-state source

Calling them “hemp” moving to an ODA licensed hemp lab, testing, and then moving to a rec license IS doable…but they are forever “HDT” at that point.
