Prohibition on sale of artificially derived cannabinoids (HHC named) in Oregon
In general, hemp-derived beverages that contain artificially derived cannabinoids are prohibited from being sold in Oregon. The only exception to this rule is if the artificially derived cannabinoid has been approved for sale by the OLCC. Cannabinoids that are sometimes manufactured as artificially derived cannabinoids include delta-9-THC, delta-8-THC, CBN, HHC, and THCO. However, some of these cannabinoids (e.g. delta-9-THC, CBN) can also occur naturally in hemp. Whether a product containing these cannabinoids is eligible for sale to Oregon consumers depends on how the cannabinoids were made.
ORS 431A.175(1)(b) "Inhalant delivery system" means: A device that can be used to deliver nicotine or cannabinoids in the form of a vapor or aerosol to a person inhaling from the device; or a component of a device described in this subparagraph or a substance in any form sold for the purpose of being vaporized or aerosolized by a device described in this subparagraph, whether the component or substance is sold separately or is not sold separately. [Excludes FDA-approved cessation products and traditional tobacco products.] (2) It is unlawful: (a) To violate ORS 167.755. [Remaining paragraphs summarized by fetch tool: failing to post notice that sale to persons under 21 is prohibited; distributing systems without labeling required by authority rules; without child-resistant packaging; or in packaging attractive to minors.] History: formerly 431.840; 2017 c.701 s.10; 2019 c.525 s.16. OAR 845-026-0300 (Justia fallback): an industrial hemp product is an adult use cannabis item if it contains "0.5 milligrams or more of: Total delta-9-THC; Any other tetrahydrocannabinol or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, including delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol; or Any other cannabinoids advertised by the manufacturer or seller as having an intoxicating effect"; or "any quantity of artificially derived cannabinoids"; or if "the testing done in accordance with ORS 571.330 or 571.339 was performed using a method with a LOQ that is not sufficient to demonstrate that the total delta-9-THC does not exceed 0.5 milligrams." "The Commission may impose a civil penalty of no more than $10,000 for each violation." (Bracketed text summarized by fetch tool.)
