Establishing psychoactive concentrations--Measure 80 part 21

  The next part of the text of Measure 80 mandates that the OCC establish psychoactive concentrations of cannabinoids to distinguish between hemp and cannabis:

474.085 Commission to establish psychoactive concentrations of cannabinoids. The commission, based on findings made in consultation with the Board of Pharmacy and cannabis and hemp farmers to cannabinoid concentrations which produce psychoactivity, the economics of residual cannabis extraction, and strains of hemp that produce better quality and quantity of fiber, protein and oil, shall establish reasonable concentrations of cannabinoids deemed psychoactive under this chapter.

  This means that the OCC will consult with the Oregon Board of Pharmacy and establish what concentrations of THC or other psychoactive cannabinoids indicate that a plant should be considered recreational cannabis rather than industrial hemp.  The point of establishing these limits is to protect hemp farmers who grow acres of plants from being accused of growing cannabis to sell to recreational users.
