It is probably wise to be a bit more cautious about possessing homemade cannabis extracts now, such as edible oils. While extracts have always been classified as Category 5 narcotics, it is now also illegal to produce them unless you are an FDA approved manufacturer. Legal possession is generally limited to products obtained through licensed medical clinics and produced by legally licensed manufacturers. As a result, possessing homemade cannabis oil can potentially expose someone to multiple legal risks now, including both illegal possession and illegal production. In practice, the risks associated with possessing a small amount of homemade oil have probably not increased significantly. The key distinction is that possessing cannabis flower is not illegal, whereas possessing a homemade extract remains, technically, a Category 5 narcotics offense and could be viewed as evidence of unlawful production. The realistic risk of enforcement for a small bottle of homemade oil is likely quite low, but it is still worth being aware of the legal distinction. Given the recent changes, it may be sensible to stick to legal forms of cannabis as regulations on extracts continue to tighten.
