Oregon Marijuana Recall

Push to Open Connecticut Adult Use Dispensaries

At this time, the Connecticut police department is making a hard push to open Connecticut adult use dispensaries by Mid 2022. This would be earlier than previously proposed by The Connecticut Medical Marijuana Program (MMP).

Adult use marijuana in Connecticut is legal following Public Act 21-1, An Act Concerning Responsible And Equitable Regulation Of Adult-Use Cannabis. This initiative became effective on October 16, 2021. Although cannabis is legal, the department has not implemented an application process for adult use dispensaries at this time.

What is Causing this Push to Open Dispensaries?

Presently, the lack of availability in Connecticut has left many marijuana consumers turning to the black market as the source of their product. Consequently, a recent push to open Connecticut adult use dispensaries is directly related to a seize of fentanyl laced marijuana.

“A Connecticut State Lab recently confirmed the presence of fentanyl in a marijuana sample after numerous people reported only using marijuana and overdosing. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid typically used to treat severe pain. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, and has been linked to overdoses and death.”

This issue proves the value of not only legalizing marijuana but also, swiftly establishing an adult use program to protect consumers from the contamination of harmful drugs. In addition, businesses should prepare by testing products before sale, providing products certificate of analysis upon request, and having Standard Operating Procedures that reflect the current process on hand.

Consequently, every business needs standard operating procedures to succeed and operate in a compliant manner. We have the following Connecticut specific marijuana SOPs:

In Conclusion

To conclude, the fact that consumers in Connecticut want marijuana available to them has become apparent. However, providing safe products to consumers for consumption is the number one priority for legalization. Above all, Connecticut consumers and law makers must educate themselves on cannabis and its products.
