Being on a gas station shelf doesn’t make a product federally legal. A new federal h**p definition takes effect December 11, and most THC beverages won’t meet it. Rachel Klubeck covers the changes and what businesses should review before then.

OBNDD sent out an email to registrants this morning notifying them their “registration is no longer considered timely. If the registration is not approved prior to November 1, the registration will go inactive.”

OBN has clarified the email was sent to ALL registrants who do not have a 2027 expiration date, and if they submitted timely they will be considered as such. Most registrants in renewal do not have a 2027 expiration date. If you submitted timely, you will remain active while your renewal is processed.

Oklahoma requires commercial medical ma*****na growers to post $50,000 surety bonds intended to help address abandoned cultivation sites. But when those sites are left behind, the money needed to clean them up doesn’t necessarily follow.

So where does the system fall short, and what does it mean for Oklahoma’s cannabis industry?

Our latest article by Sabrina Alkire examines why Oklahoma’s grow bonds aren’t delivering the cleanup protections lawmakers intended. And what changes could be made to close the gaps.

On September 29, DEA’s Chief Administrative Law Judge stayed the proceeding on whether all remaining ma*****na should move to Schedule III. The stay came days after a new GAO report found that DEA and FDA lack comprehensive written policies for how they evaluate and schedule controlled substances. Those findings overlap with questions that were already disputed during the 11-day hearing.

What hasn’t changed: the April order placing state-licensed medical ma*****na in Schedule III is still in effect, and so is the DEA registration framework that came with it. For Oklahoma’s medical licensees, that means a problem with your state license can now become a federal problem.

Next date to watch: October 13, when DEA’s response is due.

Our latest article covers what GAO actually found, why the judge paused the case, and what operators should be doing in the meantime. Link in bio.
