In the Weeds OLCC

The OLCC talks pot. Marijuana regulations. What current and prospective licensees need to know to follow the laws and rules to operate in Oregon's regulated recreational marijuana market.

In Episode Ten of In the Weeds we consider some of the changes in Cannabis regulations and OLCC operations (including the OLCC's name change) that have taken place since the last podcast more than a year ago.

We meet OLCC's new Statewide Licensing Director, discuss the lifting of the "license application pause", provide an overview of some industry-favorable streamlining changes in the Cannabis Tracking System, and take a look at what Oregon's legislature is contemplating about cannabis in the February 2022 legislative session.

Episode Eight is a special episode featuring Steve Marks, Executive Director of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and Rick Garza, Director of the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board in conversation with Portland Business Journal reporter Pete Danko.

The trio discussed the challenges of regulating hemp and aligning oversight of a commodity crop with few regulations versus regulating adult use marijuana. The conversation took place at the Hemp & CBD Connex conference in Portland in January 2020.
