SALEM (AP) — A
group of unions and other
liberal groups says it has
¿led paperwork for a ballot
measure that would increase
the statewide minimum wage
to $13.50 per hour and allow
local governments to raise it
even higher.
The Raise the Wage
Coalition announced the
¿ling on Monday. The group
says it hopes the Legislature
will raise the minimum wage
next year but it will be ready
to go directly to voters if
lawmakers don’t act.
Meanwhile, a separate
group that’s pushing a $15
statewide minimum wage
began collecting signatures
last week.
Ballot measure organizers
must to collect just over
88,000 signatures from
registered voters to place an
initiative on the 2016 ballot.

offering recreational pot,
hoping to boost their sales
in an already over-saturated
industry. But, they say, it’s
hard to know what impact
adult recreational sales will
have.
“It’s going to be a surprise
for everybody, we’re hoping
it’s really busy,” said Lois
Pariseau of Gras Cannabis
in Portland, a dispensary
that opened four months
ago. Pariseau said a lot of
people have been walking
into the dispensary in recent
weeks, asking about the start
of early sales.
The competition is stiff,
she said, with several other
dispensaries already open
on their street. To lure
recreational users, Gras
Cannabis has been adver-
tising, including in two local
alternative newspapers and
on two giant billboards in
the city.

Dispensaries gear up for pot sales
PORTLAND — Oregon’s
medical marijuana dispen-
saries are getting ready for
a watershed moment this
week: when recreational pot
users will also be able to buy
weed at their pot shops.
More than 200 of
Oregon’s 345 medical
marijuana
dispensaries
haYe noti¿ed the Oregon
Health Authority of plans
to sell recreational mari-
juana starting on Thursday.
Though some dispensaries
may not qualify right away
if they’re still in the appli-
cation process and haven’t
been
approved,
OHA
spokesman Jonathan Modie
said.
Oregon passed Measure
91 in November. The law
legalized possessing and
growing limited amounts
of marijuana for personal
use starting July 1. But
the state won’t be ready to
begin regulated sales until
next year. As a temporary
stop-gap and to curb black
market
sales,
medical
dispensaries are allowed to
conduct early sales of recre-
ational marijuana tax-free.
Taxes on recreational
sales won’t start until Jan.

retail sales will be added.
Adults over 21 can buy
a quarter ounce of buds.
Candy bars and brownies,
as well as extracts, concen-
trates and marijuana-infused
products are not available in
early sales. Customers must
provide a valid, govern-
ment-issued photo ID as
proof of age.
Ten cities and two coun-
ties have prohibited early
retail sales of marijuana,
including Douglas and
Harney counties, Gresham,
Brownsville, John Day,
Junction City, La Grande,
Reedsport and Sherwood.
Recreational pot has
also been legalized in
Washington, Colorado and
Alaska, though in Alaska
is still ¿guring out how to
regulate the industry.
Most dispensaries in
Oregon are thrilled to start
