US - Oregon: The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) and Curaleaf have reached an agreement whereby the company will pay a fine of $130,000 and have its licence suspended for 23 days for mistakenly labelling some of its THC products as CBD products, press reports. The agreement comes after regulators originally imposed a fine of $200,000 and a 70-day suspension. Curaleaf has been the subject of several lawsuits over the mistake.

- US - Oregon: The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) has confirmed to CBD-Intel that as of today (1st July) intoxicating artificially derived cannabinoids, such as delta-8 THC converted from CBD, cannot be made or sold anywhere – including in dispensaries – in the state. Numerous media outlets have been erroneously reporting that such cannabinoid products could still be sold in dispensaries. Artificially derived cannabinoids that are not intoxicating, such as cannabinol (CBN), may continue to be sold in dispensaries until 1st July 2023 if certain conditions are met.

At least two Oregon counties have reportedly already declared such an emergency.
