My take on this is that those activities are protected when done in your own home with your own product for your own use. Take any one of those 3 qualifiers out, and it would be criminal activity. As a licensee, the products you refer to are regulated under the concentrate guidelines, not extractor guidelines.

WHOA! Not so fast!
That’s what I thought this morning as well. The OLCC made a typo, and instead of “Joseph City” wrote “Josephine County”.
The OLCC will be proofreading their copy in the future. This caused a huge furor this morning.
I can assure you that Josephine County is not going to opt out or ban in any fashion. I have had this conversation today with the OLCC and our county…Read More

You’re talking about OHA/OMMP regulations, Michael, not OLCC.
The short end of the story is no, your 12 plants won’t be on any inspections list. You can still sell excess to dispensaries right now from your OMMP plants only, not your M91 plants. The way I see it right now, as the rules are implemented at some point in the future 12 plant gardens like yours will no longer be able to sell…Read More

Update coming soon! Having it at the end of this week did not turn out to be the best we could do, and we want this event to be the best it can be for our members!

In a nutshell, the production of cannabis on RR lands is the core of the discussion. The commissioners there assert it is against their land use code to grow a farm crop on RR. RR5 is the biggest area of interest. The exception for non conforming use costs over $1500. Growing cannabis on EFU land will be permitted, and it will be allowed on forest lands as well is my understanding.…Read More

Re-read my post. OHA is now claiming April first! It will take some time to see how all these new laws will work together. Longer than this artificially imposed timeline.

I’ll say yes and double on that! I’ve been on my property for 17 years, and we bought it from my neighbor (who’s still here). We use a portion of our land, about 30%, for our family needs. The rest is a managed woodland resource, with a class d riparian area bisecting it. About 1/8 of one acre out of the entire property is devoted to our 16 patient garden. It is never necessary to…Read More

I really wish there was a yes or no answer to this. Unfortunately there is not. The OHA wording is misleading, at best, if we are giving them the benefit of the doubt. There are currently 4 bills awaiting signature on the governor’s desk, 3 of which will have an effect on this situation. Additionally, the OHA clarified this week, through OMMP director Andre Ourso, that grandfathering…Read More

Hi, newnormal, I hope you’re still around. I’ll bump this up to the top, because it’s still relevant even though this was asked last Nov.
Going to OSGG general and member meetings is a great way to meet your neighbors and find out more about the area you now call home.
You’ll find different answers from different people, but now that we are in the application process we have alot more…Read More

I don’t know if you still need help, Kev, but you can contact me at pioneerpete@oregonsungrown.org if you’re still seeking info. We now have classes for every type of growing from personal and medical to micro and tier 1 and 2, all with different rules. And check back on the forums here, we’re about to make them alot more useful!

Great! I’m glad to see people sharing contacts here. Don’t forget we’re doing a presentation on Pest control focusing on Russet mites on the 24th at our general meeting! See you there, and post your contact interests here!

Hi, Greg!
Sorry to take so long to get to this, but better late than never!
We will have the rest of the info out to our members on the OSGG’s Terpene Cup soon. I can’t give any spoilers, yet, but I can tell you the following:
The first cup event right now is designed for flowers only, and samples can be taken in to Green Leaf Lab for testing (our official lab). Samples may be brought…Read More

Cool, monty! the OSGG board met with the OLCC and Cannaguard Security last week discussing what will be needed where and why for security. Temporary rules will be out Thursday, March 17. One of the things we discussed was the difference between allowing us certain approaches to security versus forcing them on us. They were very receptive. Hopefully this will lead to being able to be…Read More

it’s best to reach me at pioneerpete@oregonsungrown.org .
and for anyone who has questions, they can always be addressed to board@oregonsungrown.org for a quick reply or something you’re not sure about on the forum.

I hope you’re still checking back here periodically, milo.
I spend alot of time in Salem for the Guild and my personal business as well. I would like to meet you when I’m in town and discuss how our members can work with you. I’m a lifetime grower as well, when I’m not doing political work in Salem.

And please do check in regularly. We’re getting better at timely replies. I promise!

Wingrider’s out of town at the moment, but he’ll be back for our general meeting on the 24th. As we work to build the seed bank, the best opportunity to meet people with seeds is at our general or members only meetings.

The date is May 1st for OHA grandfathering applications to be sent in. Please encourage everyone who even thinks they may qualify to apply asap.
This does not restrict your options, it ensures your rights.
Additionally, a larger number of applications for grandfathering will help our work this fall as we push to maintain patients rights.

There is a Jackson County meeting on the topic even as I type this. More info on how they will proceed will be available soon. Jackson is unique in southern Oregon in their definitions, so no, Josephine County growers are not similarly affected. Douglas, of course, has a moratorium in effect until the election this November.

We did a good job getting our point across to the Josephine County Commissioners, now we need to help the folks in Jackson County. The ballots are due for the special election on March 10th. Please make sure everyone yo know in Jackson County votes NO! on their terrible tax measure. Turnout is very important. They will be looking at how many ballots are cast! Even Medford is starting…Read More
