The state is accepting applications for the various licenses for legal cannabis. Jackson County (Ashland) is likely the most prolific grow location in the state. They estimate 3,000 grow operations in the towns, no one knows how many are in the country. Let’s say 1,000, making a total of 4,000.
Almost all are entitled to apply for a legal license (fees run $1,563), and will be expected to comply with regulations (about $250,000 for a small grow).
Number of applicants so far: 7
Oregon, as always in all things social, is going to be a case study in the great cannabis experiment.
