Temporary cultivation facility or dispensary pesticide testing requirements
Arkansas Constitution, Amendment 98, sec. 4
- (a) Notwithstanding this part, if the Department of Health finds there is insufficient laboratory capacity for the testing of pesticides, the department may permit randomly chosen samples from batches of usable marijuana to be tested for pesticides by a licensed laboratory rather than requiring every batch of usable marijuana from a harvest lot to be tested for pesticides.
- (b) The department must ensure that samples from at least one (1) batch of every harvest lot are tested for pesticides.
- (c) If any one of the randomly chosen samples from a batch of a producer cultivation facility’s or dispensary’s harvest lot fails a pesticide test, every batch from the harvest lot must be tested for pesticides.
(d) If the randomly chosen samples from batches of usable marijuana that are tested for pesticides all pass, the entire harvest lot:
- (1) Is considered to have passed pesticide testing; and
- (2) May be transferred or sold.
