Rulemaking for manufacturing facilities is ongoing, and this has us looking forward to long-awaited testing rules

Wednesday, July 3, 2019


Many of you have probably seen the Proposed Rules:  Marijuana Manufacturing Facilities from the Office of Marijuana Policy.  In case you missed it, the public hearing is next Monday, July 8 at 8am in Augusta. And the comment deadline for these rules is July 18. 

The rules are fairly technical, and I’m guessing that any comments will be fewer and less impassioned than the comments to the adult use rules.  But it is interesting to note that these rules are replete with referencing to required testing, which begs the question, when will we see the OMP’s proposed testing rules?  It’s pretty much common knowledge at this point that testing is going to be the (or a) great bottleneck in Maine’s adult use industry, so many of us are waiting and waiting and waiting with baited breath for the OMP to drop these rules, and get that process started.

Circling back to manufacturing, there don’t seem to be any great surprises hidden in these rules, though I’ll be interested to hear and read the comments and see what sticks out to different industry folks.
