CANNON BEACH —
Inquiries yes, but applica-
tions have yet to be fi led in
Cannon Beach for a retail
cannabis outlet.
Voters knocked down a
retail cannabis prohibition at
the polls on Election Day. By
voting “no” to prohibition,
they green-lighted the retail
licensing of cannabis dispen-
saries in Cannon Beach. The
vote was 446 against prohi-
bition and 436 in its favor.
Cannon Beach voters also
approved a 3 percent local
tax on recreational marijuana
sales to support public safety.
City Recorder Colleen
Riggs said there were no
retail license applications
fi led yet, but she had received
calls for information.
Applications would be
fi led through the Planning
Department, “which would
determine whether or not it
meets the intent of the zon-

Kucera said, followed by

The Oregon Department

have opened the Oregon
Coast to all mussel harvest-

Consumption of domoic
acid can result in dizziness,
headaches, vomiting and diar-
rhea. More severe cases can
result in memory loss and
death.
Closure of the crab sea-

coast due to domoic acid con-
tamination caused crabbers to
lose millions.
