7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 2015 Pot: The black market is ‘not some sinister thing’ Continued from Page 1A “I think the Oct. 1 start is good,” he said, as it gives time for outdoor crops to be har- vested and avoids depleting the medical supply. “July 1 would have been reckless.” John Harper, who owns smoke shops in Astoria, Seaside, Scappoose and Rainier, said he provided a loan to help start 6ZHHW5HOLHIDORQJZLWK¿QDQ- cial advice. He said medical dis- pensaries are the best available avenue to roll out recreational marijuana, as they have already been tried, tested and inspected. “You have to approach this as if it was any other business,” Harper said. He is an investor in six to eight dispensaries in Ore- gon. Harper said he doesn’t see a rush of new dispensaries, but an increase across Clatsop County as moratoriums are lifted. One of the approved dispen- sary applications is for Highway 420 in Seaside, which owner Steve Geiger said he has been try- ing to open for nearly three years. “I’m hoping we’re going to get started here in the next few weeks,” Geiger said. He needs an inspection by the Oregon Health Authority to get his license re- newed before the city of Seaside will complete his background check. He, like every other med- ical dispensary owner, hopes to sell recreationally starting Oct. 1. “There are 600 medical cards in Clatsop County, and you would never be able to sur- JOSHUA BESSEX — The Daily Astorian A marijuana plant sits on a shelf in The Farmacy.

Police perspective Clatsop County District Attor- ney Josh Marquis was a staunch opponent of Measure 91, speak- ing on behalf of law enforcement all over the state in opposition. But for Marquis, the legalization of marijuana inspires a sigh. “It’s not like this is going to change things for prosecution or cops very much,” he said. Marquis said maybe three out of more than 1,000 recent cases in the county were related to marijuana. Astoria Police Chief Brad Johnston said marijuana has and will continue to be a low priority for police, adding there are issues with trivialization of possession in the law and vagaries on the implications of legal marijuana. Johnston said police are wait- ing for the Legislature to do its job by making the rules, adding he supports a legal path to buy what is now a legal substance. “It seems that the rules should have been clear prior to the law change,” Johnston said. “These are things that were brought up before Ballot Mea- sure 91 passed and the day that Ballot Measure 91 was passed.” A big question for law en- forcement, Marquis said, is when edibles will be allowed for sale, as a concern is they will be marketed to children. The edibles market is awash with products modeled after popular candies and chocolates. “I’m very upset with what ‘The black market is largely people’s friends and neighbors.’ — Josh Marquis Clatsop County district attorney MORE INFORMATION Educate before you recreate at www.whatslegaloreogn.com the (Oregon) Legislature is do- ing,” Marquis said of Senate Bill 460, adding it is going back on Measure 91’s promises to tax, regulate and protect children from marijuana, in order to get it out faster. Marquis has long been a crit- ic of dispensaries and medical marijuana, which he said are rel- atively unregulated compared to drinking establishments. “This idea of ‘where are they JRLQJWR¿QGPDULMXDQD"¶LVOX- dicrous,” Marquis said, adding marijuana has been grown and used by Oregonians since de- criminalization in 1973. “The black market is largely people’s friends and neighbors,” he said. “It’s not some sinister thing.” Ilwaco: August reservations for slips at the Port are sold out Continued from Page 1A already seeing a lot of coho and Chinook along the coast,” said Doug Milward, ocean salmon manager for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife in a recent report. During the week of June VSRUW¿VKHUPHQLQ2UHJRQ and Washington landed a total of 599 Chinook in an all-spe- FLHVVDOPRQ¿VKHU\LQWKH&R- lumbia River ocean area. Gudgell said most of the salmon he’s seen have been coming in at 18 to 20 pounds, WKRXJK RQH VSRUW¿VKHUPDQ landed a 25-pounder earlier in June. “It’s turning out pretty good,” said Butch Smith of Coho Charters in Ilwaco. “It always starts out a little slow before school gets out and graduation, but it’s been a pretty good season.” And then comes August August is when things will really get busy. Already, August reser- vations for slips at the Port of Ilwaco are sold out. Last year, people started reserv- ing later in the season when they realized the fishing was going to be good. This year, with the last summer on their minds, people began call- ing to reserve boat slips the minute the port began tak- ing summer reservations on March 1. In that first month, port staff scheduled more than 250 reservations for the summer, said Port Manager Guy Glenn Jr. “And they’ve been trick- ling in ever since then,” he said. Last August, boats load- ed with sportfishermen were front to back for miles up and down the Columbia Riv- er, and in Ilwaco, charter boat businesses and small seafood processors were kept hopping. Some captains reported it took longer to get to fishing grounds than it took for their passengers to land their daily limit in fish. Boats were going out early in the morning and returning just several hours later. Last year was so good, in fact, that Gudgell bought a new boat for his charter business and hired another captain and deckhand to run it. The last time he’d bought a boat was about five years earlier. It’s not the sort of purchase he makes on a whim. “Boats are pretty darned expensive when you only operate six months out of the year,” he said. But, then, he’s also been getting more and more people booking trips a year in advance. Smith didn’t buy a boat, but he did stock up on neces- sary equipment like leaders. He’d expected they would use 4,000 last year and in- stead they ended up using about 7,000. “Everybody’s going to be slammed in August,” Gud- gell said. “Everybody.” Still no sturgeon One thing that is disap- pointing this year is that, yet again, sturgeon will be off limits. “That hurts us really bad at the coast,” Smith said.
