Approved a preproposal statement of inquiry (CR 101) to consider establishing a new rule section that would allow the Board to evaluate additives, solvents, ingredients, or compounds used in the production or processing of marijuana products other than delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol to determine whether such substances pose a risk to public health or youth access.
