Oregon Recalls Simply Sol Hemp Pre-Rolls Over Excessive THC Levels

8 December 2025

Oregon’s cannabis regulators are again confronting the delicate line between hemp and marijuana products, this time through a recall involving hemp pre-rolls that turned out to be much stronger than their labels suggested. On December 5, 2025, the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) announced a recall of hemp flower pre-rolls made by Simply Sol LLC, warning consumers that the products appear to contain far more THC than indicated.

The recalled items are clearly marked with a manufacturing or creation date of September 5, 2025. They were sold in two packaging formats, six-pack tins and single-tube pre-rolls, and in several strains: Blood Orange, Cornucopia, Lemongrass, Piña, and Pink Panther.

According to the OLCC, the actual THC content in these products is high enough that it may pose a risk to public health and safety and should not be consumed.

Adult-use cannabis is legal in Oregon, so regulators are not objecting to THC itself. Rather, the concern centers on the mismatch between label claims and what is actually in the product. Many consumers choose hemp pre-rolls precisely because they expect minimal intoxicating effects. When a hemp item unexpectedly behaves like a high-THC cannabis joint, it can lead to accidental intoxication, impaired driving, or other unintended consequences for people who thought they were staying within personal comfort or medical dosing limits.

The reach of the recall is relatively wide, touching a mix of urban and smaller-market dispensaries. The affected products were sold at Cannabis Nation in Gresham and Oregon City, Happy Haze in Eugene, Herbal Remedies 2 in Salem, Hippy Trip in Depoe Bay, House of Hash in La Pine, Justice Cannabis Company in Aurora, Lincoln City Collective and Lincoln City Collective North in Lincoln City, Papa Buds in Portland, Pipe Dreams Dispensary in Lincoln City, Sweet Tree Farms in Eugene, The Lucky Leaf in Silverton, Uplift Botanicals in Portland, and Urban Farmacy in Portland. The OLCC has urged all of these retailers to stop selling the products immediately.

Consumers who already purchased the products are being told to destroy them. Regulators are not offering a formal return or refund protocol in the available information, which may leave individual customers working directly with retailers for any remedies. For medical cannabis patients who rely on precise dosing, and for people who use hemp products as a gentler option for relaxation, sleep, or pain management, the recall may raise questions about how often labels truly reflect what is inside the package.

For the industry, the situation appears to underscore how tightly hemp and cannabis businesses are bound to accurate testing and labeling. A single misstep can influence customer trust far beyond one company’s brand. Retailers might respond by reviewing their sourcing, checking recall lists more frequently, or demanding clearer batch documentation from suppliers. Producers, particularly those operating in both hemp and higher-THC product lines, may treat this recall as a sign that internal quality control needs to be more rigorous, from lab result verification to final packaging checks.

The OLCC has opened an investigation into how the affected pre-rolls ended up with excessive THC and how they passed through the system into consumer hands. Regulators are asking anyone with relevant information to email olcc.recalls@olcc.oregon.gov and provide their name and contact details. That call for public input suggests that the inquiry could look beyond a single error and try to understand whether any systemic gaps in oversight contributed to the problem.

For now, the recall may feel like a hassle for consumers and retailers caught in the middle. But for Oregon’s cannabis and hemp ecosystem, it likely serves as a reminder that accurate labels are not just paperwork. They are the basis on which patients, casual consumers, and regulators decide what is safe, what is appropriate for daily life, and what should stay on or off store shelves.
