Last week, the cannabis community reacted to a new report that examines how Oregon is doing with its recreational program. The report, “An Initial Assessment of Cannabis Production, Distribution, and Consumption in Oregon 2018,” was prepared by a group of city, state, and federal agencies that comprise the Oregon-Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (OR-ID HIDTA). Much like Thomas Kinkade, the picture it paints is garish and false.
Oregon Attorney General Billy Williams’ reaction was to say that the state’s cannabis situation is “out of control.” Since the “Assessment” has received considerable attention, it’s worth giving it its own assessment, as it may be used as a tool to impose changes to Oregon’s recreational cannabis program.
So, who wrote this thing?
