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

[Aota1]

The ommp cardholders weren't a part of the bill. In my opinion, this wasn't done maliciously, but because that medical distinction was made and the fed said they wouldn't touch them. The bill was a direct response to protect Oregon rec herb consumers in the face of possible federal action. I don't see the feds coming for us either. This was precautionary and a step in the right direction in treating herb sales more like beer sales. The one thing that hasn't been mentioned by the olcc is how they expect us to limit any single customer to his or daily limit now. Without being able to see what they bought at maybe 11am when they come back at 8pm. We'll see what happens.

 

[Aota1]

I also wanted to say about the possibility of olcc wanting to mess with oha. From everything I know to be true, ommp will be under the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission fairly soon.

Congressman Earl Blumenauer’s 4/20 Update

Congressman Earl Blumenauer’s 4/20 Update

Today of all days, it seems appropriate to update you on our marijuana reform efforts in Congress.

More and more states are following Oregon’s leadership in legalizing and regulating marijuana. Although 95 percent of Americans now live in states or territories that permit, to varying degrees, legal access to medical marijuana and/or cannabis derivatives, marijuana is still treated the same as heroin at the federal level. It makes no sense. Clearly, current federal law is out of touch with the majority of Americans, leaving too many Oregonians and Americans in legal limbo.

This is not right, nor fair. I’m committed to continuing our fight for reform, and also to protecting the progress we’ve made at the state level (especially with a new Attorney General at the helm).

We kicked off the year by launching the Cannabis Caucus, a bipartisan forum for members to discuss, learn, and work together to establish a better and more rational approach to federal cannabis policy. This Caucus is the first of its kind, and another sign of progress being made on Capitol Hill. Watch our launch here.

I’ve also introduced with Senator Wyden the most comprehensive marijuana legislation package to date that would bring the federal government in line with the will of the American people. The three bills together would protect state marijuana laws and offer a responsible pathway for the legalization and regulation of marijuana.

It’s time for Congress to face the facts surrounding marijuana. A transition of marijuana policy is inevitable, and already well under way. I’m looking for every opportunity to advance our goals of reform.

Courage,

Earl Blumenauer

Member of Congress

From what I have heard, its OHA that wants out of medical weed altogether and they want it moved under OLCC. Once OMMP is under the OLCC, I believe that they will simply allow OMMP card holders to buy more weed tax-free. I also believe that they will do way with medical grows, or allow 6 plants instead of 4 for everyone. State law enforcement wants simpler limits for everyone.

As it stands now with the new bill that you posted, growing 5-8 plants is a class B misdemeanor, and over 12 plants is a class C felony. I dunno what infraction 9-11 plants gets you. It is still ambiguous. I do not know what happened to the 10 seed limit either. Talk about absurd. I can buy bags of hemp seeds at Bargain Market by the pound.

It seems at this point they can only really enforce unit sales limits at dispensaries at the point of sale. Daily one oz limits and annual clone limits (4 clones per year) will be tossed out with this new bill. As for what the feds do, that is another issue. With the growing number of legal states and volume of dispensaries and users, the longer the Feds wait to do anything, the less they will be able to impact us overall. Trump seems to be saying a lot and not actually doing anything though. Like the Carl Vinson... steaming toward Korea? No, it was actually steaming away from Korea south the Philippines somewhere.

 

[OregonBorn]

Simply reclassify Cannabis as schedule III. That would be a start.

 

[Aota1]

The clone limit has been 4 per day for a few months. It's up to customers to ensure they remain compliant

Seems like all the limits other than point of sale will be customer compliant now. Which is as it should be in my opinion. Dispensaries should not be law enforcement instruments.

Yeah, it seems like maybe they just changed the rec rules and left the OMMP rules unchanged. The net effect is that some medical card holders now feel somewhat more exposed than they used to.
It may seem like a negative now, but eventually it could be seen as good or bad depending on how things play out with the feds.

So the current OMMP laws which gives the grower the right to flower 6 plants per patient and have 24 vegging plants is still in play?

And would the current OMMP laws have to be upheld as long as there are paid/registered growers patients?

I don't want to get the surprise re-jurisdiction mid-summer.

Peace

Current OMMP laws do not have to be upheld if they change them, which I believe they will once OMMP is moved under the OLCC. There are some aspects of OMMP growing that are grandfathered now, but that only applies to commercial growers.

This summer they changed the OMMP personal grow laws and limits. The last OHA blerb that I read said: If you are inside of city limits and zoned residential, you can only use 2 cards and grow a max of 12 mature plants regardless of the number of OMMP cards that you have. Outside of residential zoning or city limits, you can use up to 8 grow cards and grow 48 mature plants. BUT if you grow over 12 plants you will likely be inspected and need to supply the state with monthly inventory information, and a lot of other stuff. Also with an OMMP card, you can grow an unlimited number of immature clones under a foot high now. At least that was the last I read from the OHA. No OMMP clone limit any more, except you can only buy 4 clones per day from any dispensary.

If you sell any OMMP weed, there is also the entire list if new testing, labeling, packaging and inventory requirements, especially if you sell to a medical dispensary.

What do you know about this polyhybrid? Oregon breeder. Back about 15 years ago we used to get this Stinky Pinky out of covelo that threw these crazy tufts of hot pink hairs all over the buds.Still some of the wildest looking herb I've ever seen. Not related to this at all i don't think.

 

[Robrites]

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission will be holding a Public Hearing to address amendments to OAR 845-025-2070 - Pesticides, Fertilizers and Agricultural Chemicals.



In January, OLCC temporarily amended 845-025-2070 to align the rule with the Oregon Department of Agriculture’s Marijuana Compliance Assistance Program. This program allows marijuana producers who participate in the program to accept responsibility for potential illegal pesticide applications. A producer that accepts responsibility will receive a notice of warning from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission for their first violation instead of a Category I violation. Any subsequent violations would result in a Category I violation, as the Assistance program is only available to first time violators.

BEAVERTON: Explosion blows door off

BEAVERTON: Explosion blows door off

Don't do this shit!

An explosion inside a Beaverton garage Monday night blew the door clear into the street, and the tenant is facing several charges. 37-year-old Zachary Silva-Barrett was arrested on several charges including the reckless endangerment of a woman and seven children who were in the home at the time of the explosion. Silva-Barrett, who was significantly burned in the explosion, told first responders he was trying to light his water heater. However, investigators found 13 tanks of butane and nearly 120 pounds of marijuana in the garage near the site of the explosion, as well as equipment used in the production of hash oil. Silva-Barrett faces charges including unlawful manufacturing, an arson-related charge and eight counts of reckless endangering.

Sounds like you are describing the pink hairs of either land race Punto Rojo in Colombia, or a type of Malawi in Africa.

 

[OregonBorn]

And like we need yet another OG Kush cross? *cough* OG genetics are everywhere.

 

[Slim Pickens]

Not sure if we can discuss other sites on here but there is one that many use to list their menu's. It rhymes with kiefly.com

Thanks Aota.I have seen that site you mentioned and see that the dispensaries do provide their menus.I was kind of hoping that there might be a site that lists total strains available,and which dispensary carries each one,instead of having to read every menu at each website to find what you are looking for..


Sorry to have interrupted the discussion fellas.

[Aota1]

Slim you can search for strains and any dispo that has it listed will pop up under the locations tab. Search around on it

 

[OregonBorn]

Try w e e d s t a for comparing prices and strains at different dispensaries. Better than l e a f l y but they do not have as many places listed.
