More regulations..... real hard to figure everything OLCC wants, every time I look there seems to be more and more.
Hope the link works.

Link was just fine,

Basically, you (or the shop ) have to send a sample to an accredited /licensed testing center, if it fails tests (mold, etc) either a) it must be destroyed (while whitnessed by a rep of the OLCC) or b) it must be decontaminated and turned into extract which will then be re-submitted for testing.

While a PITA, it's a good thing for the health of buyers. The real annoying part is it's going to slow down turnaround on crop to reimbursement, but that's the way the regulated world works.

Oh, and... ***suppository***??? why, back in my day, that was called transporting though I suppose, we did use some sort of bag....

Here's an example of why they put in some of those testing rules and a reminder of how far they still have to go:

(these products, Marion Berry and Dr Jack, failed spectacularly, yet still made it to the shelves of McMinnville's New Leaf dispensary, not cool.)

Man they must have used a shit load of spinosad or used it like real close to harvest to get 42ppm on that shit. Highest they allow on tests is 0.2 lol

What do they mean by micro (random) on those tests?
