Silverton Appeal October 19 & 26, and November 2 & 9, 2016 Marijuana measures on Marion County ballots Continued from Page 1A gal stands to climb from 5 percent to 25 percent throughout the U.S., with measures for legalization on ballots in five states this fall. Oregon’s quandary could be a proxy for the way maps change in com- ing years if the push for marijuana gains more traction in the U.S. As legalization efforts mount across the nation, people can generally ex- pect to see mixtures like Oregon’s where localities are allowed to opt-out of the business of marijua- na, said Sam Méndez, ex- ecutive director of the Cannabis Law and Policy Project at the University of Washington. But they can’t go against state law and prohibit someone’s right to possess it. Those places that pro- hibit the industry wouldn’t reap tax benefits from it, he said. “Natural- ly, they’ll be missing out on the industry growth.” In Oregon, dispensar- ies are becoming more and more like normal stores. Dozens of recre- ational marijuana retailers moved under the oversight of the state’s Li- quor Control Commission in October, leading to in- creases in the amount of product they could move at once with a lower tax- ation rate. But under state law, lo- cal governments get to push back against the crop’s sale in their own ju- risdictions. Some have punted the issue to resi- dents this November in counties where a majority of voters didn’t want to pass a 2014 state measure legalizing recreational marijuana in the first place. While counties in East- ern Oregon have largely declined marijuana busi- ness, for instance, voters in 11 other counties will decide whether to place a 3-percent tax on sales from recreational retail- ers, according to the Asso- Measure 24-404 asks voters if they want to allow if medical dispensaries and processing sites will be allowed to operate in Marion County’s unincorporated areas. Measure 24-405 asks voters if they want to allow recreational dispensaries and facilities to work in Marion County’s unincorporated areas. Measure 24-406 hinges on the passage of 24-405. If that goes through, passage of 24-406 would mean a 3-percent tax on top of recreational marijuana sales in Marion County’s unincorporated areas. ANNA REED/STATESMAN JOURNAL FILE Plants for sale at TLC Cannabis Emporium in Salem on Oct. 3. ciation of Oregon Coun- ties, and five counties, mostly dotting the West of the state, will vote on mea- sures to either welcome or nix sales. Across the state, 50 cit- ies and counties altogeth- er have ballot measures on the matter this Novem- ber, according to the OLCC. One of those battle- grounds is here in Marion County. On the county’s large swath of unincorpo- rated land, growers see potential for processing sites and retail outlets out- side cities. But a ban on new businesses there put in place by local officials has halted growth. A political-action com- mittee has come together to advocate for the pas- sage of two measures — 24-404 and 24-405 — that would approve recre- ational and medical mari- juana businesses in those areas. For Jered DeCamp, 34, a founding member of the committee and dispen- sary owner, it’s not about being “pro-weed.” He said: “You just have to be pro-taxes.” Tax revenues from sales have translated to millions for the Pacific Northwestern state so far this year, and dispensar- ies like his have taken ad- vantage of Oregon’s sta- tus among other states as a relatively marijuana- friendly place. Although states such as California and Arizona are considering legaliza- tion on Nov. 8, most are not. There isn’t a tax on medical marijuana in Ore- gon, but there is a 25-per- cent tax on the profitable recreational products owners like DeCamp who aren’t under OLCC licens- ing are allowed to sell in low quantities. Recent data from the Oregon Department of Revenue shows the state had received more than $40 million in tax revenue through the end of Sep- tember. Averaging $4 mil- lion per month in tax col- lections since they began this January, the state may get more than predicted – originally es- timated at $43 million – by year’s end.

Other measures on the ballot will affect the industry similarly in cities across Marion County with either bans or the 3-percent tax. Herbal Remedies in unin- corporated Marion Coun- ty, stands to lose his al- most 20 dispensary em- ployees if voters don’t let recreational businesses into that area. He argues dispensaries provide a boon for the community that illegal dealers don’t: they pay taxes on their product. Decamp fore- casts sales of $5 to $6 mil- lion this year, which would pan out to more than $1 million in taxes to the state. That tax revenue would funnel into the Ore- gon State Police, drug in- tervention programs, lo- cal law enforcement and schools. But movement isn’t without its detrac- tors, such as retiree Da- rold Thompson. Thompson, 52, doesn’t believe the possible tax boon from sales out- weighs crimes associated with marijuana. He voted against Measure 91 and he’ll vote against business in the unincorporated areas. “There’s really enough access to it already now,” he said. Even though Orego- nians voted in the recre- ational use and sale of pot in 2014 by a margin of more than 180,000 votes, a majority of Marion Coun- ty voters pushed against it by a margin of roughly 3,200 votes, public rec- ords show. That Novem- ber, some 51 percent of voters here said no to Measure 91, which is what makes the race for legal sales in unincorporated areas contentious. Even if not by a drastic margin, marijuana advo- cates would have to bol- ster their support among people in the county to ei- ther boost turnout or swing voters to their side. The vote next month has not just local but also international investment at stake, as Toronto-based Golden Leaf Holdings sees whether an operation it planted in Marion Coun- ty’s unincorporated area — Greenpoint Oregon — will be able to thrive, or whether the Canadian company will need to shift processing to a property in Multnomah County. Investors and others interested in the cannabis movement are looking to Oregon, because out of the four states where it’s legal, this state has ap- peared to have led the field, said Beau Whitney, vice president of regula- tory and government af- fairs with Golden Leaf. He’s also part of the politi- cal-action committee. Other opt-out votes are taking place in Lake, Douglas, Gilliam and Jef- ferson counties.
