VIDEO - Board of Pharmacy Set to Reschedule Marijuana in Oregon

[ProfessorWit]

The 2009 Oregon Legislature passed 2009 SB 728 which requires the Board to reschedule marijuana as a Controlled Substance II, III, IV or V. This bill also requires the Board to reschedule marijuana as a Schedule I drug. During the course of the past nine months, Board staff has been researching the potential effect for abuse of marijuana and has compiled a packet of materials for the Board to review.

Here is the presentation from the Executive Director of the Oregon Board of Pharmacy to the Advisory Committee for Medical Marijuana.

TIMELINE FOR RULE ADOPTION:

April 7, 2010, the Board will review proposed rules, finalize them and send them to a Rulemaking Hearing.

May 18, 2010, the Board will conduct a Rulemaking Hearing. This hearing will be open to the public and is the time for comment regarding the Board's proposed rules. Comments may also be provided by mail, fax or e-mail to our office. You will each receive a notice of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Hearing via e-mail towards the end of April after it has been filed with the Secretary of State's office. The Notice and Proposed rules will be posted on the Board's website when available at pharmacy.state.or.us/.

June 16, 2010, at the Board's regularly scheduled Board Meeting; the Board will discuss the Rulemaking Hearing Report and make a final decision about the rescheduling of marijuana. Once the Board's decision is made, final rules will be filed and the rule will be effective no later than June 30, 2010 as required by law. The final rule will also be posted on the Board's website.
