The statutory authority for this rule includes but is not limited to sections 44-50-202(1)(b), 44-50-203(1)(b), 44-50-203(1)(g), 44-50-203(1)(i), 44-50-203(1)(n), 44-50-203(2)(a), 44-50-203(2)(f), and 44-50-203(2)(k), C.R.S. The purpose of this rule is to identify the permissible inventory and inventory management requirements for Natural Medicine Cultivation Facilities. The Division intends to revisit this rule and the cultivation tiers outlined in this Part 5 during a future rulemaking proceeding once baseline information and data is available from the Regulated Natural Medicine Program in order to determine if additional revisions to cultivation tiers are appropriate. Additional revisions may include a reduction or increase in the amount of Regulated Natural Medicine a Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility may cultivate and store on the Licensed Premises.

A. A Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility Licensee may only possess up to the maximum amount of Natural Medicine permitted by the Licensee's cultivation tier and in accordance with these Rules.

B. Security Measures.

1. A Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility Licensee who has obtained a micro-cultivation tier must store all Regulated Natural Medicine in a secured, locked place that is:
a. Accessible only to the Owner Licensee(s) and/or Natural Medicine Handler Licensee(s); and

b. Monitored by video surveillance while Regulated Natural Medicine is possessed or stored on the Licensed Premises.

2. All other Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility Licensees must comply with all security and surveillance requirements in Rules 3110 and 3115.

C. Cultivation Tiers. Each Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility shall be designated as either a micro-cultivation tier or a standard cultivation tier for purposes of production and inventory management.

1. Requests to Cultivate, Possess, and Store More than 5.000 Kilograms of Dried Fruiting Bodies. A Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility Licensee in the standard cultivation tier may apply in a manner prescribed by the Division for approval to cultivate, possess, and store more than 5.000 kilograms of dried Fruiting Bodies. The Division may consider the following in determining whether to approve the request:
a. The Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility making the request has consistently transferred Regulated Natural Medicine to other Natural Medicine Businesses or Facilitators in the preceding 180 days;

b. The Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility making the request has entered into a written agreement(s) or contract(s) with a Healing Center or Facilitator to provide Regulated Natural Medicine for Administration Sessions that demonstrate the basis for the request;

c. The Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility making the request has either entered into written agreement(s) or contract(s) with a Natural Medicine Products Manufacturer and the additional request is necessary to make Natural Medicine Product;

d. The Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility making the request has an established history of responsible cultivation, and transfers of Regulated Natural Medicine;

e. The Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility and its Owner Licensees have not been subject to an administrative action issued by the State Licensing Authority in the preceding 180 days;

f. The Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility making the request will be conducting research and development; and

g. Any other information requested to aid the Division in its evaluation of the request.

2. Notification of Reduction in Cultivation Tier from Standard Tier to Micro-Cultivation Tier. A Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility Licensee in the standard cultivation tier may choose to change its designation to a micro-cultivation tier by notifying the Division in a manner prescribed by the Division. Upon written confirmation that the Division received the notification, the Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility License will be considered a micro-cultivation tier license.
