Oregon Marijuana Law

Tracking recreational, industrial hemp, and medical marijuana law and policy in Oregon.

[Portland Mercury 🗞 @portlandmercury]

Oregon's edibles are doubling their allowed THC dosage, but that's just a piece of how bill SB 408 impacts the state's cannabis regulation.

@ClaessensLaw Landowners (or tenants who have sub-leased) should consult with legal counsel as soon as possible to discuss their options.

[Oregon Marijuana Law @OregonMJLaw]

Stories like this are one reason why it’s important for landowners to do their due diligence when deciding whether to lease agricultural land for a hemp growing operation. Not all tenants are actually planning to grow hemp. Landowners can face legal consequences in these cases.

Cops: 14 arrested, 1,400 pounds of pot seized at illegal Oregon marijuana grow operations https://t.co/c8zLBmQjk4

[Hemp Industries Association @thehia]

We are handling several multi-million dollar hemp lawsuits in various jurisdictions. A common theme is that everyone thought they would be making a fortune, and have not.

Multnomah County comes in eighth per capita, with a total of 222 dispensaries within county limits.

[Oregon Marijuana Law @OregonMJLaw]

What do the five Oregon counties with the most recreational cannabis dispensaries per capita have in common? (Hint: It's tourists. And the ocean.) https://t.co/kxqAmfmv9g

[Oregon Marijuana Law @OregonMJLaw]

Towns like Ontario reaped a big windfall from local cannabis taxes, only to have those funds redistributed to addiction treatment by Measure 110. Their attempt to hike the local cannabis tax rate to 10% also failed. Maybe it's finally time to ask residents to raise local taxes?

[Willamette Week @wweek]

The city of Ontario, Oregon, had a dream: build a second bridge across the Snake River using the tax revenue collected from cannabis sales. That dream died June 28. https://t.co/v4UEs6wGzf

[High Times @HIGH_TIMES_Mag]

As the cannabinoid continues to see bans around the country, Washington state regulators, researchers and chemists consider a future of regulating Delta-8 THC. https://t.co/wIFivqbgzv

"I wish these legislators had the guts to put forth what they really want, which is to abolish the ballot initiative process, but they know they can't win that campaign with voters." —@mhschweich of @MarijuanaPolicy

Cannabis producers are pushing to clamp down on Delta-8 THC https://t.co/nbrsKZiD3X

[Willamette Week @wweek]

The one-size-fits-all penalty system means the maximum fine is a mountain to a small company and a speed bump to a big one. To Cura, the fine was a nuisance—one it was happy to pay in order to make the problem disappear. https://t.co/KePsWaVVda

[Earl Blumenauer @repblumenauer]

Spending 4/20 the only way I know how – at the U.S. Capitol advocating to end the failed prohibition of cannabis and ensure restorative justice for those harmed by the war on drugs. #LegalizeIt

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Happy 420.

From the Senate Majority Leader.

[Earl Blumenauer @repblumenauer]

As we continue to push forward with full legalization, addressing the irrational, unfair, and unsafe denial of banking services to legal cannabis businesses is a critical element of reform that can’t wait.

Today, the House will take up and pass the SAFE Banking Act.

Oregon’s billion-dollar weed economy faces new challenges https://t.co/tC4MYEeGsD

Areas like Southern Oregon are ideal for growing outdoor cannabis, which requires substantially fewer resources than indoor production in areas like Illinois or Colorado. West coast growers should be allowed to grow and export environmentally-friendly outdoor cannabis nationwide.

[Oregon Marijuana Law @OregonMJLaw]

A new study quantifying the carbon footprint of the (primarily indoor) cannabis cultivation industry is disheartening, but also provides another argument for nationwide cannabis legalization and interstate trade: prioritizing outdoor production.

[Earl Blumenauer @repblumenauer]

If cannabis businesses were allowed to have normal financial transactions, they wouldn't have the danger of repeated robbery. I spoke w/ @WWeek about this horrible situation, which is a call for federal action on my SAFE Banking Act with @RepPerlmutter.
