Testing requirements for Oregon: Most MJ investors dont yet understand the mandatory testing laws and the fact that your whole crop gets taken away by the state if you do not pass... Its becoming risky to use any form of pesticide/chemicals to kill the molds/mildews/mites/bacterias/etc, which makes this system a possible game changer for the growers.. and they will pay big money if it will prevent them from losing months worth of work/profits

This might not cut and paste well, but its a worthy read to comprehend this important aspect of the MJ sector and more importantly, how to profit on it... ALL states will have strict testing laws. Oregons law went into effect on 10/1/2016, the Cali testing law will go into effect in Jan 2018....

Oregon requires every 10lbs harvested to have an INDEPENDENT lab analysis and none can fail. I know this well because im also invested in Oregon testing labs, which are booked solid with business.

What are the testing requirements?
A new testing webpage on the OMMP site outlines the requirements for testing and what the
options are when an item fails a test. This webpage is located at:
healthoregon.org/marijuanatesting
? If a grower or processor has a marijuana item that failed an initial test, the laboratory is
required to notify OMMP.

? OMMP will follow up with the grower or processor to ensure appropriate steps are
undertaken to address the failed test result.
? A grower or processor may choose to retest a sample that failed an initial test.
? If the sample passes the retest, a separate accredited and licensed laboratory must also
resample the batch and confirm the result in order for the batch to pass testing.
? A testing laboratory must be notified by the grower and processor if it will be testing any
sample that has failed any previous testing.
? Marijuana and marijuana products that fail testing may be subject to destruction that
must be witnessed and recorded by the OMMP.

? When a medical marijuana item must be destroyed, the registrant must contact the
OMMP and arrange for witness of the destruction of the batch.
The OMMP may be
contacted at: OMMP.Labs@state.or.us
? A medical marijuana registrant that fails to comply with any of the testing rules will be
subject to enforcement action which may include civil penalties or having their
registration suspended or revoked.
