2A • August 10, 2018 | Cannon Beach Gazette | cannonbeachgazette.com Oregon has marijuana oversupply By Gillian Flaccus and Kathleen Foody Associated Press PORTLAND — Two of the first states to broadly le- galize marijuana took different approaches to regulation that left Oregon with a vast over- supply and Colorado with a well-balanced market. But in both states prices for bud have plummeted. A new Oregon report by law enforcement found nearly 70 percent of the legal recre- ational marijuana grown goes unsold, while an unrelated state-commissioned Colora- do study found most growers there are planting less than half of their legal allotment — and still meeting demand. The reports offer case stud- ies for California and other pot-friendly states as they ramp up their legal pot industries. They also underscore some key differences in how broad legalization was handled that have helped shape differently evolving markets in each state. The Oregon study released by the Oregon-Idaho High In- tensity Drug Trafficking Area — a coalition of local, state and federal agencies — includes the medical and general-use markets and the illegal market, despite gaps in data on illicit marijuana grows. It noted Oregon still has a serious problem with out- of-state trafficking and black market grows — and the top federal law enforcement offi- cer in Oregon demanded more cooperation from state and lo- cal officials Aug. 2 in a strident statement. “What is often lost in this discussion is the link between marijuana and serious, inter- state criminal activity. Over- production is rampant, and the illegal transport of product out- of-state — a violation of both state and federal law — con- tinues unchecked,” said Billy Williams, U.S. attorney for Oregon. “It’s time for the state to wake up, slow down and ad- dress these issues in a respon- sible and thoughtful manner.” CANNON BEACH POLICE LOG July 19 patrols to the area are assigned.

ALLYSA CASTEEL/SEASIDE AQUARIUM Head curator Tiffany Boothe examines and dissects the squid with aquarium staff. BIG SQUID! Cannon Beach Gazette After visitors to Silver Point reported a 10-foot ro- bust squid on July 27, the Seaside Aquarium respond- ed. Aquarium staff took a unique opportunity to exam- ine and dissect the 90-pound squid, which had a mantle length of 4 feet. Found on the eastern Pacific, the spe- cies ranges from Alaska to California. They are also found off the coast of Japan. Aquarium staff reported the squid had been dead for “a little while” and some scavenging had occurred. “But all in all it, was in pret- ty good shape,” the aquari- um’s Tiffany Boothe said. “Most likely this animal died after spawning and ocean currents brought it ashore.” The robust clubhook squid, Onykia robusta, is the third largest squid species in the world, and can reach a total length of 12 feet. Two larger species are the colossal squid and the giant squid, both of which exceed lengths of 30 feet.
