RE: Department-initiated variance for Product Packaging Design

Licensees,

On May 29, 2024, and October 18, 2024, the Division of Cannabis Regulation (DCR) issued a variance to 19 CSR 100-1.120(1)(C)2. Pursuant to 19 CSR 100-1.020(1)(A), DCR is further modifying the provisions of 19 CSR 100- 1.120 as follows.

Dispensary licensees receiving final marijuana product may add a standard barcode to the packaging. The standard barcode shall not cover any information required by 19 CSR 100-1.120, nor add any additional information.

DCR has determined the good cause for granting this variance is that it provides dispensary licensees a mechanism to maintain accurate inventory and seed-to-sale tracking in compliance with rule.
