Some of those employees
will focus on making sure
marijuana businesses follow
state rules, and Wagner said
their goal will be to achieve
voluntary compliance when-
ever possible.
“Our primary purpose is
to make sure that the busi-
nesses we regulate operate
in a compliant manner, and
usually we do that best by
helping them to get there,”
Wagner said. “Merely doing

Employees at the agency
will have the authority to
inspect medical marijuana
grow sites and medical pot
processors, and could revoke
licenses if businesses do not
follow the rules.
Initially,
the
health
authority will adopt tempo-
rary rules because of the short
time frame. Wagner said the
agency does not have to take
public comment on tempo-
rary rules, but employees will
look for opportunities for the
public to weigh in. Wagner
does plan to share the rules

Pot retail rules coming together
2UHJRQSXEOLFKHDOWKRI¿-
cials are writing rules for the
¿UVWSKDVHRIWKHVWDWH¶VOHJDO
pot retail market.
Currently, adults age 21
and older in Oregon can
possess marijuana but there
is no outlet for them to legally
purchase the drug. That is set
to change October 1, when
state law will allow medical
marijuana dispensaries to sell
limited types and quantities
of pot to all adults.
“It is a super rapid time
frame with lots of things
to get into place,” Steve
Wagner, administrator of
the Oregon Public Health
'LYLVLRQ¶V&HQWHUIRU+HDOWK
Protection, said in a recent
interview.
The
Oregon
Health
Authority where the public
health division is housed
is writing temporary rules
necessary to allow recre-
ational customers to purchase
cannabis seeds, plants that

The health authority is
also writing permanent rules
to implement a broad array
of new cannabis regulations
lawmakers passed this year,
from accreditation and
testing standards for labora-
tories that test pot products to
product labeling and dosage
standards. The authority will
write rules to implement
residency
requirements
lawmakers passed this year:
two years of residency for
growers and others involved
LQVSHFL¿FDUHDVRIPDULMXDQD
businesses, and residency for
DOO SDUWLFLSDQWV LQ WKH VWDWH¶V
medical marijuana program.
Residency requirements for
medical pot businesses take
effect March 1, 2016. Oregon
currently allows people from
out of state to sign up for
medical marijuana cards,
which has made it easier for
growers to justify enormous
grows through a practice
known as card stacking. The
Oregonian reported last year
WKDW WKH VWDWH¶V ODUJHVW OHJDO
medical marijuana grow
served 104 patients who all
lived in California.
Wagner said the new rules
will determine how people
can prove residency.
