| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The purpose of the adoption of revised Rule R 211 and new Rule R 212 on an emergency basis is to establish a means by which to manage the production of Retail Marijuana. This rule is necessary to ensure there is not significant under or over production, either of which will increase incentives to engage in diversion and engage in illegal sales of marijuana.
By their terms, the production limitations set forth in Rule R 211 govern only those Medical Marijuana Businesses that either convert to or add a Retail Marijuana Establishment License pursuant to 12-43.4-104(1)(a)(I). The production limitations set forth in Rule R 212 govern Retail Marijuana Cultivation Facilities licensed pursuant to 12-43.4-104(1)(b)(II).
Following adoption of the initial production limitations, the State Licensing Authority commissioned a study of the emerging retail marijuana market in order to refine the rules governing production limitations. That study was just completed, leaving no time for formal rulemaking proceedings prior to July 1, 2014, the date on which the production limitations in Rule R 211 expired and the date on which Subsection 12-43.4-104(1)(b)(II), C.R.S., permits an expanded class of applicants to apply for a Retail Marijuana Establishment License. These emergency revised and new rules will provide preliminary guidance to such applicants and to the regulated community regarding production limitations. |
