Already our biggest cash crop--Measure 80 part 3

   The third point of justification for the proposed law is stated very succinctly in the next section of Measure 80:

Whereas the people find that cannabis is Oregon’s largest cash crop, indicating that cannabis prohibition has failed; and,

  That's right.  Cannabis is already Oregon's biggest cash crop--but, except for the money paid by patients into the OMMP program, the state is not benefiting financially from the fruits of some of our finest farmers.  Measure 80 will not only allow cannabis sales to be taxed and regulated, but it will also enable Oregon's farmers to start growing industrial hemp, the benefits of which were mentioned at the opening of the Measure.

  Cannabis prohibition has failed, and Oregon can help lead the way out.

Vote Yes on Measure 80.
