Standard Guide for Disposal of Resin-Containing Cannabis Raw Materials and Downstream Products

Importancia y uso:

3.1 The practical applications of these guidelines include the adoption of international guidelines for the disposal of controlled substances, harmonization with the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, clarification of controlled and uncontrolled parts of the cannabis plant, and flexible and economical disposal methods for resin containing cannabis raw materials and downstream products.

3.2 This guide provides a step-by-step method for the implementation of a disposal process capable of rendering cannabis raw materials and products containing resins irretrievable, non-reclaimable, and safe to compost, commingle with municipal waste, or incinerate.

3.3 This guide is intended to be used by cannabis operations, such as cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, and laboratories. This guide clearly distinguishes between those parts of the plant that require being rendered irretrievable before further processing or disposal and those parts of the plant that do not require any type of special processing or handling protocols.

3.4 This guide is useful for regulators, as it provides assurance that cannabis operations and authorized consumers who follow the guide will be able to mitigate diversion of waste cannabis raw materials and products containing resins, thereby maintaining the safety and health of the public and environment.

3.5 This guide provides authorized consumers with a way to dispose of medical and/or adult-use cannabis products in a safe and compliant manner similar to that used for prescription medications.

3.6 Use of this guide will minimize the amount of waste that is produced by cannabis operations, relieving both economic and logistical resources of the operators and authorities having jurisdiction.
