New rules for medical marijuana grow sites
Beginning January 1, 2027, producers must register their grow sites with OHA or they cannot legally produce. Applicants must be 21 or older and provide the responsible person’s name, the grow site address, and other tracking details. OHA runs criminal background checks; a Class A or B felony for manufacture or delivery causes a two‑year ban, and more than one such conviction is a permanent ban. OHA issues a registration card that must be displayed at the site and may charge a fee before issuing it. OHA may inspect records and sites and may refuse, suspend, or revoke registrations for violations. Renewal applicants who do not own the property must provide the owner’s notarized consent if a prior consent expired. Plants and usable marijuana produced for a registry cardholder belong to that cardholder and must be transferred and reported on request.
On-site medical marijuana in care settings
Beginning January 1, 2027, designated care organizations and residential facilities must allow medical marijuana use on-site. The patient must hold a registry ID card or have an application receipt issued in the last 35 days. These sites must keep a written policy for buying, storing, giving, and disposing of products. Direct care staff must finish training before caring for patients who use cannabis. Hospitals and hospital‑affiliated clinics that are designated as additional caregivers are excluded. Residential treatment homes/facilities, home health agencies, and hospice that deliver care in a home do not have to meet the staff training rule. Eligible hospice, palliative, home health providers and certain residential facilities can be designated as additional caregivers with the same powers as individual caregivers. OHA may designate organizations before the start date; policies are due by June 30, 2027, and training must be offered by December 31, 2027, or the designation is removed.
Nurses can discuss medical marijuana
Beginning January 1, 2027, licensed nurses can talk with their patients about medical marijuana. The Board of Nursing cannot discipline a nurse for these discussions within a patient‑provider relationship.
Wider legal protections for medical marijuana
Beginning January 1, 2027, more people are protected from state criminal charges tied to medical marijuana. The exemption now also covers designated organizations and residential facilities that serve as additional caregivers, alongside cardholders, recent applicants with proof, primary caregivers, and registered grow, processing, or dispensary personnel, when they meet the statute’s conditions.
