Monarch Waste Co., a family-owned cannabis waste service provider, is ready to assist dispensaries with products that must be destroyed following the latest administrative hold. In July 2024, the Department of Health and
Senior Services (DHSS) placed marijuana products on administrative hold that present a potential threat to health and safety under 19 CSR 100-1.100(4)(P). As part of an ongoing investigation, the Kentucky Division of Cannabis Regulation (DCR) is requiring dispensary licensees to take action.
Licensees must separate all affected packages to prevent cross-contamination and cannot move or alter products until further guidance is provided. Affected products include vape cartridges, edibles, infused pre-rolls, and numerous other categories.
Products will remain on hold until the DHSS determines they are safe, may be remediated, or must be destroyed.
