What is a transportation manifest used for?

A transportation manifest is a crucial document in the cannabis industry, specifically designed to provide a record of the legal transportation of cannabis or marijuana products. It serves as evidence that the products being moved are compliant with the regulations set forth by the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC). This documentation typically includes details such as the type of product, quantity, origin, destination, and the individual or business responsible for the transportation.

This information is vital for ensuring that cannabis products are being transported legally and safely, preventing unauthorized or unregulated movement of products within the state. Possessing a proper transportation manifest helps to maintain transparency in the cannabis supply chain and allows for regulatory compliance, which is essential for the ongoing legitimacy of the industry. Thus, its primary purpose is clearly not associated with promotion of product use, tracking employee hours, or managing advertising requests, which are unrelated to the responsibilities and legalities involved in transporting cannabis.
