What is the role of the OLCC regarding marijuana licenses?

The role of the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) primarily focuses on the issuance and regulation of licenses for marijuana operations. This responsibility includes ensuring that businesses comply with state laws and regulations governing the cultivation, processing, and sale of marijuana. The OLCC establishes standards to ensure public safety, product quality, and compliance within the marijuana industry. By regulating licenses, the OLCC also aims to prevent illegal activities and ensure that all operators maintain a fair business environment, contributing to a responsible and regulated market for marijuana products in Oregon. This regulatory oversight is essential for maintaining the integrity of the industry and protecting both consumers and public health.
