One of the rules for legal pot is that it can’t be exported out of state. That’s one of the rules of the Non-Enforcement Agreement with the Feds. To accomplish that the states have implemented seed-to-sale systems to prove that every gram grown in the state, ends up being sold in the state. Or destroyed.<\/p>\n
Oregon has an interesting situation: It currently produces enough cannabis to supply Colorado, Washington, Alaska, and itself, and still have more to sell. It produces ten times what it’s population can possibly consume.<\/p>\n
One approach is that the state regulators won’t care about a retail shop in Ashland moving tons of weed to a citizen from California, as long as the inventory database balances and the taxes are collected. Or a store in Pendleton that has a lot of Idaho and Montana plates in the parking lot, the front lot; behind the store are semis from California and Arizona.<\/p>\n
Oregon has available to it another approach; The role of Distributor was included in it’s legalization law. A wholesaler. This is their own invention the marijuana experiments and it will be fun to see what the wholesalers actually do.<\/p>\n
Oregon’s problem is to somehow handle the huge quantities it currently produces while remaining in compliance with the federal non-enforcement agreement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
