Just 9 weeks from now we'll know whether the people of Oregon are willing to take a huge step forward and pass Measure 80 to legalize hemp and cannabis. Our summary of the text of Measure 80 continues with the creation of the Oregon Cannabis Commission:
Section 2. A new state commission is hereby created and shall be named
the Oregon Cannabis Commission, or the OCC. The OCC shall regulate the
sale of cannabis and cultivation of cannabis for sale and shall assure
the high quality of cannabis grown and processed under this Act. The OCC
shall consist of seven commissioners. Initially, seven commissioners
shall be appointed by the Governor before December 31, 2012 for a term
of one year and they shall promulgate administrative rules, create
systems and begin licensing applicants by February 28, 2013. Thereafter,
five commissioners shall be elected at large by growers and processors
licensed under ORS 474.035 for a term of one year, and two commissioners
shall be appointed by the Governor for a term of two years. The OCC
shall work to promote Oregon cannabis products in all legal national and
international markets.
The OCC will be a new state commission in charge of regulating cannabis sales and cultivation. One of its chief goals being to ensure the quality of cannabis grown meets an accepted high standard. It will consist of seven commissioners and will spend two months developing the systems to put the new law into practice and begin issuing licenses by February 28, 2013.
The first seven commissioners will be appointed by the Governor before December 31, 2012, after the first year, two commissioners will be appointed by the Governor for 2 year terms and five commissioners will be elected by licensed growers and processors.
