Due to changes in state law with House
Bill 2198 and Senate Bill 1057, growers will
be required to notify the OLCC and Oregon
Health Authority (OHA) if they will remain
with OMMP or will be transitioning to
OLCC by Dec. 1. Should regulation follow
through in Josephine County, transferring
to the OLCC will not be an option on RR
land. Because of further changes, medical
operations that wish to stay with the OMMP
can cultivate no more than 12 plants or for
more than two patients, much less than what
they’ve been able to grow in the past.

According to Julie Schmelzer,
Josephine County community development
director, growers will likely have a good
idea whether or not their operation will be
prohibited at the county level by the end
of December and therefore should know
whether or not to invest in another growing
season. Should a grower fail to notify the
OHA and the OLCC of their intentions for
the season it will result in their OMMP
registration not being renewed.
The next step for this order is that it
has to go through a planning commission
hearing where it will be accepted as written,
with amendments or rejected entirely. The
hearing is scheduled to be Aug. 28 at 6 p.m.
at the Anne Basker Auditorium in Grants
Pass.

eligible voters took part in the special
election ballot that sparked the drafting of
2017-034. According to Peter Gendron,
president of the Oregon Sun Grower’s
Guild, half of that number, live in Grants
Pass and in his mind should have little to no
influence over what happens in RR zones all
over the county.
The Cave Junction Farmers’ Market
Board of Directors expressed in a press
release to the Illinois Valley News their
collective disapproval of the order and held
that it will cause immense economic harm
to the area without any substantial benefit.
“This order will put many businesses at risk
to lose their entire investments they and
their investors had every reason to believe
were safe.”

“This is going to be a messy process,”
County Commissioner Simon Hare said,
“Everybody should have known when
91 passed that we weren’t going to get it
right first out of the gate.” Hare added that
Josephine County doesn’t have much of an
example to follow in other counties because
he is unaware of any other county in Oregon
that has to deal with cannabis production
in RR areas to the extent that it’s going on
here.
At this time, there has been no
discussion as to whether existing operations
on RR properties will be grandfathered.
“All we’re doing today is initiating the
process,” Hare said, “That’s it. It doesn’t
mean it is actually even going to happen.”
