Marijuana Industry Bulletins
At times it is necessary to provide industry members with time-sensitive information that provides additional guidance, short-term modification or clarification of compliance mandates. In those instances, the MED issues Industry Bulletins. Industry Bulletins that are issued prior to current statutory provisions or rules may reference statutory provisions or rules that are no longer in effect. The Marijuana Enforcement Division does not endorse or reject such bulletins. Please seek legal counsel if you have questions as to the validity of such Industry Bulletins.
In 2024, the MED also issued this notice to licensees regarding hemp-derived THC, which served as a reminder that If the Division finds that a Licensee is likely using chemically converted THC in the manufacture of Regulated Marijuana Products, the Division will recommend suspension and revocation of the license and the imposition of a significant fine.
Additionally, interested parties may petition the Division to provide a Statement of Position concerning the applicability of any provision of the Marijuana Code or any regulation of the State Licensing Authority.
