OMMA-licensed dispensaries can sell product to licensed dispensaries and patients/caregivers. This is the only license type permitted to sell medical marijuana or medical marijuana products to licensed patients and caregivers.

Yes – for example, a dispensary can use flower, shake or trim to make pre-rolls (up to 1 gram in net weight). But as with all medical marijuana and medical marijuana products, anything a dispensary sells must comply with OMMA’s testing guidelines. Using the same pre-roll example, a dispensary making pre-rolls out of a single harvest batch that has already been tested would not need further compliance testing on the pre-rolls. But if a dispensary makes pre-rolls out of multiple harvest batches, the pre-rolls need a new compliance test before sale.
