The Oregon Weed Thread -Grows, News and Laws and Whatever

[PDX Dopesmoker]

My boy will be heading up your way with a cut of his orange funk! Wonder if they will outlaw it!

Use sophisticated adult names, children like primary colors and funky music.
"Citrus Sinensis Odor" might be a better choice.
I guess you can use any alcohol brand name by default, that would probably be the safest way to go, they're the Oregon Liquor Control Commission not the Oregon Mind Control Commission. Any OG in the background? Curaçao Kush has a nice ring to it.
Gorilla Glue is allowed so far, so I guess adhesives are safe names too, but you don't have to be over 21 to buy them so that might be a grey area.
Don't forget that your GSC is just as dank even if the jar says "League of Women Voters" and has a photo of the Golden Girls on it instead of a horny 18 year old stuffed into a 13 year old's scout uniform.

How do you collect taxes on something you don't allow to be sold or produced? Everyone voted for the taxes but no one wants the businesses. Utter bull shit! Legal is legal, Oregon voted for it years ago. Those who didn't like it should have tried a small hit. Whomever came up with the ban options for the counties should be flogged with moldy weed. I propose that if you voted for the tax then the businesses should be allowed. You can't have it both ways.

 

[Abja Roots]

Great information as always Robrites. I'd been keeping an eye out on Marion, but unfortunately it did not pass there. Lots of people are sitting on land that they overpaid for in that county.

@Sluicbeox - They're saying that if something were to change they would tax it. Something may change later, and if it does they've already voted to tax it.

Under state law those local tax laws become invalid in municipalities which ban some or all of the industry.

Search-and-destroy missions for illegal pot falter in Oregon

Search-and-destroy missions for illegal pot falter in Oregon

Oregon is poised to become the first in a group of key battleground marijuana states to exit a nationwide program designed to discover and destroy black-market pot plantations.

The move follows Oregon's first year of recreational marijuana sales and a thriving industry with legal marijuana farms stretching from the coast to the Idaho border.

Money for the eradication effort in Oregon has dropped by nearly three-quarters in the last year to $200,000, by far the largest percentage cut in the country, financial data from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration shows.

That's on top of steady cuts over the past three fiscal years that add up to an overall 80 percent decline.

To the north, another well-established hot spot for illegal pot grows is taking a different approach. Washington has generally kept its Drug Enforcement Administration money intact since legalizing recreational marijuana. It's dropped only about 30 percent over three years, down to $760,000 this year.

But with no one strongly advocating for it, the program in Oregon appears headed for the chopping block.

"If you look at a graph and see how steeply the budget trends down, I'd imagine it's very possible we won't get funding for this next year," said State Police Capt. Bill Fugate, whose agency ran the program until 2015.

Police and sheriff's offices typically use the money on equipment, training and helicopters based on allocations largely established through state requests.

State police passed oversight of the program – making the funding requests and doling out money to local agencies – to the Oregon State Sheriffs' Association this year.

That association sees it as an unwanted burden.

"They must've caught me at a weak moment when they asked us to take it over," said retired Curry County Sheriff John Bishop, executive director of the nonprofit group that provides administrative help to sheriffs. "We're not even going to run it next year. ... I don't know who will yet. No one's figured that out."

Discussions begin in January over who will take it on, he said. He wouldn't speculate on who's in the mix.

It's possible the state could step in with money, but there's no question that the focus has shifted.

"The problem is the way the program utilizes funds from DEA, it doesn't have a good match with our regulatory scheme," said Jeffrey Rhoades, senior adviser on marijuana policy to Gov. Kate Brown and a longtime prosecutor.

"That's not to say we've beaten the black market," Rhoades said. "The main point is, in this new legal market, we need to adjust our thinking in how we conduct these kind of operations."

***

Oregon entered an exclusive club a decade ago: part of the Drug Enforcement Administration's "M7" – seven states identified as primary marijuana cultivators. The others were California, Washington, Hawaii, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. The federal government has spent roughly $18 million annually – mostly in the M7 states -- to focus on eradication.

And it appeared to return dividends – Oregon authorities pulled up or burned an average of 100,000 plants a year when the money started coming in.

But in 2012, discoveries plummeted to 33,000 plants a year, and that level has held steady since then. Washington experienced a similar nose-dive.

Neither state remains in the M7.

The Northwest states are now closer to Colorado, where major marijuana grows historically haven't been as common and which stopped receiving federal marijuana eradication funds in 2015.

Using state money, Colorado found about 27,000 plants last year, not far from its annual average over the past five years.

Fugate imagines this will play out in Oregon as well.

"Let's say DEA money goes away completely," he said. "We're not going to get out of the business. There are four stages to this game: detection, investigation, eradication, and apprehension (of growers). Funding cuts will mostly take away the detection aspect. And we will be spending more state money than we have in the past."

The Governor's Office agrees the program will continue, federal money or not.

Rhoades said Mexican drug cartels are still a concern and search-and-destroy operations are important for fostering a "good business climate" for marijuana shops in Oregon, mainly by suppressing the black market.

"But that's only one tool in the tool belt," he said. "We're going to start being smarter about this."

***

The Drug Enforcement Administration program itself has come under fire from national marijuana reform advocates.

U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., recently led a push in the House to drastically reduce the program's budget. While it didn't make it into the final budget, he said success is inevitable, given the shifting national sentiment. As California and other states legalize recreational marijuana use this year, "they should follow Oregon's example," Lieu said.

"This is one of the stupidest programs we have in the federal government," he said. "In a world of limited resources, funds would be far better spent fighting drugs like opioids. I understand why law enforcement would want a continued stream of funding from the DEA, but we can also get law enforcement to accept that funding to go somewhere else."

But the budget cuts in Oregon aren't entirely by choice. While the state requested much less this year than previous years under the program, Bishop noted that it received still less than that — $200,000 in response to a $400,000 request.

"A lot of us speculate that we're being punished, but we don't know," Bishop said. "It's total speculation. We're not hearing anything from the feds."

A spokesman with the Drug Enforcement Administration said the agency declined comment.

Under state law those local tax laws become invalid in municipalities which ban some or all of the industry.

Yes, two measures were on many ballots in several counties and cities. The idea was that if the ban failed, they would tax it (or not, if the tax measure also failed).

Also the idea behind many munis opting out now is that they can flip to legalizing it in future, and the 3% local sales tax would already be voted into place. Whereas if they opt in now they cannot flip to ban it later. I doubt that any will flip later though, unless they eye all that tax revenue that they are missing out on. Sad that so many counties east of the Cascades opted out.

In California any muni can opt out of prop 64 legal rec weed, and many already have. Prop 64 also does away with medical MJ in California, so it is all rec weed there now at the commercial level. Also unlike Oregon, Munis can also ban outdoor personal grows in California. Though I think that Medford also banned all outdoor growing in this election, including home grows?

 

[Big Sur]

In a nutshell, the following counties voted to ban rec weed: Baker, Jefferson, Lake, Marion, and Douglas. The following counties fell short of voting to ban rec weed: Linn and Deschutes.

So all the counties east of the Cascades have banned rec weed, except Deschutes. All the counties west of the Cascades have legalized rec weed, except Douglas and Marion.

Sad that Douglas County voted no. My ex's 100 acre ranch is a perfect place to grow weed.

Funny if the counties think they can just jump in later and reap all the rewards like they never missed a beat. There was a short window to do well at this and that is quickly closing.

Think the cannabis market prices are crashing or something? Gotta grow something special that the dispensaries are both looking for and willing to pay a good amount for.

I was reading some interesting stuff about this Sirius Black strain. There's a guy going as green man organics selling seed packs of it and says Sirius stole the cut from him. They won't release the genetics yet but he's selling packs and says it's something called Puppy Love X Black Rhino. I found this interesting since Sirius is blowing up on this strain along with their shatter.

 

[Aota1]

I've tried the live resin and bho of Sirius Black and it's definitely a sour grapes kind of thing. Not typical sweet purp flavors. It's a novel strain and interesting to me but, you know. There's so many

WHITE CITY — Huge piles of moldy marijuana in Southern Oregon are going up in smoke this fall after record rains in October took a toll on many crops.

"At first I was freaking out about how much we are losing," said Brent Kenyon, a cannabis activist who helped craft the state's rules on pot. "But I've heard a lot of really sad stories from people who lost a majority of their crops."

Kenyon estimates about 20 percent or more of his crop will be burned at his farm near White City, reports the Mail Tribune.

Overall, this will be a tough year for growers, who faced an onslaught of russet mites in the summer and then mold in the fall, Kenyon said. The mold destroys the marijuana flowers and spreads quickly, particularly after heavy rains.

Jackson County has one-third of all commercial marijuana grow sites in the state, according to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.

Kenyon has held several bonfires using moldy marijuana stacked about 10 feet high. He likens his losses to the pears that drop on the ground in orchards throughout the valley.

"We had an acceptable loss given the circumstances," he said.

To combat these problems, Kenyon said he expects many growers turned to pesticides or fungicides, but the amount being used could likely exceed the limits allowed under state testing rules.

"I'm expecting an 80-percent fail rate as they test for pesticides," he said.

Kenyon said the new testing requirements are so vigorous they're picking up on chemicals used to spray telephone poles that drift into nearby gardens.

Kenyon, who owns The Wharf restaurant in Medford and runs various marijuana-related businesses including a consulting firm, Kenyon and Associates, said he will be pushing for higher thresholds for pesticides at the state level.

"You can buy table grapes in the store that have more pesticides than cannabis," he said.

Kenyon said the state should move quickly to allow marijuana to be sold with higher levels of pesticides but require a label that would alert the consumer until new limits can be established. He said Colorado took a similar approach.

If the state doesn't ease up on the testing requirements, Kenyon said he fears more marijuana will be sold on the black market.

The OLCC has had anecdotal information that mold has been a problem this year, but so far there is no clear answer as to how much of the retail marijuana crop was lost.

"I've heard lots of reports about mold and pot this year," said Rob Patridge, chairman of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.

Patridge said he's aware of a push in the marijuana industry to increase pesticide limits, but he said that will have to be worked out in the Legislature.

Anthony Smith, owner of Kenevir Research Lab in Central Point and the only licensed marijuana testing facility in Jackson County, said he's seen only about a 10 percent testing failure rate, or slightly more, as growers adjust to new requirements that test for 60 pesticide or fungicide substances in marijuana.

Prior to Oct. 1, the state's rules for pesticide testing were broad, leaving labs and marijuana producers to decide which chemicals to test for.

When Smith begins testing oils extracted from cannabis in the near future, he's anticipating a higher failure rate of 60 to 80 percent.

The same extraction process that concentrates the active ingredient in marijuana also concentrates the pesticides, he said.

"The biggest public health threat in cannabis right now is pesticides in concentrates," he said.

One substance in particular he's seeing a lot of is myclobutanil, a fungicide in a popular product known as Eagle 20, which is applied to edible agricultural products including grapes, apples and spinach.

Smith said growers are going through a period where they will have to adjust from an industry that had little regulation to one that is highly regulated.

At the same time, he said the state should remove some of the substances from the testing protocol because they are rarely found in the samples.

"It just makes the list more technical to accomplish," he said.

"There are some pesticides on the list that we don't see, and it makes the testing more expensive and slower." But Smith said he doesn't think his lab is backlogged considering the amount of work that goes into each sample.

"We've gone from an unregulated testing industry that was offering 24-hour turnaround and $100 testing," Smith said. "The growers are not super happy that the turnaround is three weeks, but I do not consider that a backlog."

Despite Kenyon's losses, he's still got a lot of marijuana that is being dried and manicured, while any marijuana with mold is culled.

"Our priority is to have the cleanest medicine," he said.

One of the workers, Andy Corda, 28, a migrant worker from Transylvania in Romania, said he enjoyed the work, while showing a marijuana flower with mold that he tossed into a plastic bin.

"To be honest, it is the dream," he said.

[socioecologist]

This whole "burn your moldy weed" thing is SO wasteful and driven by ignorance. Boytritis is destroyed in the CO2 extraction process and any off flavors can be filtered out with a 0.2mm filter (thanks to GreyWolf for that bit); the nastier post-harvest aspergillus mold is also destroyed by CO2, but it's byproducts (aflatoxin) require a second processing step--but it's simple! When winterizing your oil, add activated charcoal in equal parts to your oil (just oil, not oil + ethanol) and keep it agitated for a while (12 hours to be safe). Boom. No more bad stuff.

Waste not, want not!

Beginning January 1, 2017 recreational consumers will only be able to make legal purchases of recreational marijuana at Oregon Liquor Control Commission licensed retailers.

This affects growers, processors and dispensaries in the Oregon Health Authority OMMP that plan to continue operating in the OMMP or that are currently operating in the OMMP and plan to transition to the OLCC regulated market.

Both agencies expect a surge of applications and registrations as the end of “early start” recreational sales nears at OMMP registered dispensaries. Marijuana industry businesses that require registration or licensure should submit their application materials to the OHA or OLCC as soon as possible.

It takes the OLCC approximately 75 days to process a Recreational Marijuana license application. Within a few days of submission an application is reviewed for a completed Land Use Compatibility Statement (LUCS) that has been approved by the applicant’s local jurisdiction. If an approved LUCS was not submitted, the OLCC will contact the applicant and request to submit a LUCS. An application is not assigned for investigation until the OLCC receives an approved LUCS.

Applications must also be complete in order to be processed in a timely manner. A complete application includes not only inputting information into the online system, but completing all necessary forms by license type as well. All required forms are located on OLCC’s website. Failure to complete or submit this required information will likely further delay the processing of an application.

Before you are considered an OLCC licensee you must apply and receive a physical license for the activity you wish to engage in. An application itself does not allow you to begin producing, processing, wholesaling or selling products at a retail location.
Medical processors that plan to remain in the OMMP please refer to this notice from the OHA regarding registration requirements. Processors migrating from the OMMP to OLCC licensure need to complete an inventory transfer by December 31, 2016.
Dispensaries migrating from the OMMP to OLCC licensure may transfer any marijuana item if:
The items comply with packaging, labeling and testing rules;
The items do not exceed concentration limits for retail adult use unless the prospective licensed retailer is registering to sell medical grade products.
The inventory transfer request is reviewed and approved by OLCC prior to the applicant being licensed.
