Dear Oregon Cannabis Industry Insiders,

We hope this message finds you thriving and in good spirits. As valued members of Oregon's vibrant cannabis community, we are reaching out to you with an urgent call to action. Our cannabis farms are currently facing a critical challenge that demands our immediate attention. 

The new Aspergillus testing regulations are not based on robust science or evidence, and they are causing significant harm to Oregon's struggling cannabis industry. We urgently need your support to rectify these unreasonable testing regulations, enabling Oregon's producers to continue cultivating the safe, world-class cannabis that Oregonians desire.

In response to this pressing issue, hundreds of cannabis licensees have united to launch a petition advocating for evidence-based testing regulations. By signing this petition, you can make a substantial impact on the trajectory of cannabis regulations and safeguard the livelihoods of countless farmers who rely on this industry.

We kindly request you to take a moment to sign the petition by visiting the following link: Save Oregon's Cannabis Farms Petition

Why should you sign this petition?

  1. Fixing Harmful Testing Practices: Oregon's current cannabis testing regime is negatively impacting the industry. The testing process is inconsistent, confusing, and excessively costly, leading to severe financial difficulties for Oregon cannabis businesses.

By advocating for evidence-based regulations, we can promote responsible farming practices and prioritize consumer safety.

  4. Fostering Research and Encouraging Innovation: Evidence-based regulations will foster research and innovation within the cannabis industry, leading to advancements in cultivation techniques, medical applications, and sustainable farming practices.
