Health Dept Passes Cannabis Medicine Labeling Rules

  The Oklahoma Department of Health met Tuesday to consider the work of the new Food Safety board of the OMMA. These proposed temporary 'emergency' rules were adopted by the board & will now need the approval of Gov. Mary Fallin in order to go into effect.
 Leaders in the Cannabis medicine industry are applauding the effort to bring sensible clarity.  Chip Paul of GnuPharma is the chief author of SQ788. He said; "

"Some processors have started making edibles, but they've been operating on “shaky ground” because the rules weren't finalized." He said he thinks the rules are in line with other foods and products such as dietary supplements.
“I think that's very responsible,” he said.

Among the labeling rules are;

• THC content per unit
• Ingredients
• What testing the product has undergone
• The Poison Control phone number (in case of accidental or excessive ingestion)

   These rules appear to apply to processed products such as oils, edibles, pills, or any THC product that is not in it's whole raw state.  The licensed processors will be required to submit to testing a batch every 3 months, and make the results available to the OMMA.  Those growers who sell dried whole 'flower' directly to dispensaries may not be impacted at all by today's actions.
  But the legislature will be taking a far more thorough look at every aspect of the new healthcare process.  
We'll be posting the full set of added rules when the  Dept. of Health releases them.
