Effective June 2, 2016, registered medical marijuana dispensaries that are participating in early start retail sales may sell expanded limited marijuana retail products. The expansion of limited marijuana retail sales include: 

• Sale of one low-dose unit of a cannabinoid edible to a retail customer per day. A “lowdose cannabinoid edible” means a cannabinoid edible that has no more than 15 mg of THC in a unit.  
• A single low-dose unit of a cannabinoid edible may contain multiple edibles or a single edible so long as the total THC in the unit does not exceed 15 mg THC.  
• “Unit” means a package for sale. 
  
• Sale of one “prefilled receptacle of cannabinoid extract” to a retail customer per day that contains no more than 1,000 milligrams of THC.  
  
  
• "Prefilled receptacle of cannabinoid extract" means a single use cartridge prefilled with a cannabinoid extract by itself.
  
  
• The receptacle could be any container that is pre-filled before sale.  
• The receptacle may not be refillable. 
• The receptacle may not contain more than 1000 mg THC.  
• A cannabinoid product that is an extract with any kind of additional ingredient or cutting agent is by definition not an extract and may not be sold during early retail sales. Only the extract by itself can be sold during early retail sales.   
• Pursuant to ORS 475B.410(5), extracts are defined as a substance obtained by separating cannabinoids from marijuana by:  (a) A chemical extraction process using a hydrocarbon-based solvent, such as butane, hexane or propane; (b) A chemical extraction process using the hydrocarbon-based solvent carbon dioxide, if the process uses high heat or pressure.
  
  
• Sales of non-psychoactive medical cannabinoid topicals which contain no more than 6% of THC that does not affect the mind or mental process.  To determine 6% THC in a topical the cannabinoid results will first need to be determined as a concentration (i.e. mg/L or ug/g) and that number can be turned into a percentage with total product weight calculated with % moisture. This conversion will have to be made after using the acid derivative equation in OAR 333-064-0100. 
  
• Cannabinoid concentrates and cannabinoid products defined in ORS 475B.410 are not included in limited marijuana retail sales and may not be sold to retail consumers during the early start period.
