The lounges have not had enforcement action taken yet because the law does not go into effect until January 1st. The Northwest Cannabis Club at 1195 SE Powell Blvd will have an outside consumption area and intends to remain open.

The regulations are not based upon scientific findings. What's needed is a REAL, Cannabis Lawyer, to sue.

Great column. Next month the taxes kick in and it sounds like the medical fees are rising for everyone involved. Everyone I know is setting up grows or community gardens so that we can quit the stores next month. What a shame, places like Farma are a dream come true, but who wants to pay Kansas prices in Oregon? Do you know if dispensary owners are worried about losing lots of customers to the insane taxes? Do our state politicians really want to send everyone back to the black market and damage these businesses?

Thanks

The Oregon State Legislature has delegated it's legislative authority to the Oregon State System of Higher Education, where university presidents create school rules which have the full force and effect of law. That mischievous little Dutch boy at PSU, could under veneer of colorable law, create Amsterdam style coffee shops, on campus, supplied by herb grown in current existing university greenhouses, at nominal expense. He already even has his own lawyer on staff. The proceeds from the shops could go toward scholarships and there would be no need of his proposed reeferendum for a tax increase.

OHA is changing the rules so that employees at medical marijuana dispensaries can only use edibles and topicals onsite.

I testified against the amendment which included adding Cannabinoids to the list of prohibited items for indoor vaporization and am working on changing the law to fix this problem during the February legislative session.

What about Hooka lounges. Why are they exempt from the clean air act.

Ahoy Lee, good to see you work to change unjust law, but your title Compliance Counsel is a bit misleading, and submissive. If you have any balls, call yourself a jury nullification coach.
