Court backs ban on outdoor marijuana cultivation in Grants Pass

The Oregon Court of Appeals has affirmed a Grants Pass ordinance that requires marijuana plants grown at home for personal use to be grown indoors. The City Council approved the ban on outdoor cultivation shortly after recreational marijuana became legal. The council members were concerned about offensive odors.
@macbill Funny how a number of the news posts you share(thanks for them all!) could be read by your latest avatar(I love that old guy!).
He and many of these news stories share a real "Get off my lawn!" vibe.
1000 apologies ahead of time if that's you in the pic.:)

It’s the typical Oregon split. The vast majority of the population lives in the valley, and a rural conservative minority believes that the valley “controls too much”.

Josephine County is the latest trying “spoil” what the electorate by and large wants. This is the same county that we have someone suing a sporting goods store for implementing a minimum age of 21 to buy a rifle.

This is also the same county where a woman was sexually assaulted after calling 911 and being told that, “you guys don’t have any law enforcement out there”.

It seems to me they could use some of the tax revenue from cannabis sales.

List of pot grow sites causing friction

A state agency has refused to provide a county sheriff and prosecutor in Oregon with a list of medical marijuana grow sites, marking the latest friction over marijuana between local and state officials.

On March 13, Oregon Health Authority official Carole Yann told Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel and Sheriff Shane Nelson that the law doesn’t permit the agency to provide the list.

Marijuana growers diversify with hemp amid CBD boom

A glut of legal marijuana has driven Oregon pot prices to rock-bottom levels, prompting some nervous growers to start pivoting to another type of cannabis to make ends meet — one that doesn’t come with a high.

Applications for state licenses to grow hemp — marijuana’s non-intoxicating cousin — have increased more than twentyfold since 2015, and Oregon now ranks No. 2 behind Colorado among the 19 states with active hemp cultivation. The rapidly evolving market comes amid skyrocketing demand for a hemp-derived extract called cannabidiol, or CBD, seen by many as a health aid.

Oregon marijuana prices dive — and sales soar

Rampant overproduction in Oregon’s market for legal, recreational marijuana has produced a 50 percent drop in prices, according to state economists. That widely documented collapse has been tough on farmers and retailers — but a boon for consumers.

A new state analysis finds the price collapse sparked a big uptick in marijuana purchases and a corresponding increase in associated tax revenue, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.

Oregon Attorney General Approves Psilocybin Ballot Measure Language

Oregon officials have certified the ballot title for a proposal to let licensed medical professionals administer psilocybin, the main active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms, for therapeutic purposes. If approved by voters, the state would be the first in the U.S. to allow legal use of the substance, marking a major milestone in the drug policy reform movement.

The title certification is the final step before the campaign is able to start collecting signatures to qualify the measure for the November 2020 ballot.

Oregon Has Too Much Weed, and It’s a Serious Problem
Oregon produces more cannabis than it consumes, causing endless consternation from regulatory and law enforcement agencies. This oversupply has resulted in threats from the state’s attorney general that authorities needed to step up their efforts to deal with it. It’s also sent weed prices plunging 50 percent last year, and predictions are that wholesale prices will drop again this year.

OREGON LAWMAKERS MOVE TO PREPARE FOR INTERSTATE POT COMMERCE
It may seem like a pipe dream now, but Oregon lawmakers are anticipating the federal government legalizing, or at least tolerating, the interstate transfer of marijuana.

The Senate Judiciary Committee moved forward a bill this week empowering the governor to enter into agreements with other states for such transactions. The bill, which was completely rewritten in an amendment, goes to the Senate floor for a vote.
