– Missouri cannabis companies allowed to consult with state regulators on destruction of recalled products
– The decision comes after a postponed hearing on cannabis recalls
– 63,000 recalled cannabis products have been stored since August
Missouri Cannabis Companies Get Go-Ahead to Destroy Recalled Stock
A possible sigh of relief for cannabis companies in Missouri as the state’s regulators are now allowing them to consult on the process to destroy recalled products. This result comes in the wake of a Sept. 29 hearing that discussed the recall being postponed to at least December.
Recall Rundown
Since the start of August, Missouri-based cannabis businesses have been made to store nearly 63,000 recalled cannabis products. These products, now in the crosshairs of destruction, faced an unsure future due to the postponement of a hearing scheduled to manage the issue, initially set for Sept. 29.
Move Towards Destruction
The postponement of the hearing, however, might not be a setback for these businesses. The recent changes have now allowed companies in the cannabis business to consult with state regulators about how to go about obliterating these recalled products. For these companies, this is a critical step forward to clear their storage and potentially cut losses.
The Breezy Take
This move is a potential win-win not only for Missouri’s cannabis companies but for the state’s regulators as well. While it aids in clearing up the businesses’ storage, it also gives the state an opportunity to supervise the process, ensuring that the destruction is safe and within regulations. The extended period – with the hearings postponed till December – potentially allows for a thorough and well-coordinated process for the destruction of the recalled cannabis products, adding to perks of this new development.
