No changes to OMMA or DUII laws--Measure 80 summary part 9

  We've reached the point in the text of Measure 80 where the proposed changes to current law begin to be enumerated: 

Wherefore, be it enacted by the people of the state of Oregon, the laws relating to cannabis are revised as follows:

Section 1. This Act shall operate uniformly throughout Oregon and fully replace and supersede all statutes, municipal charter enactments, and local ordinances relating to cannabis, except those relating to operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act. This Act is a scientific experiment by the people of the state of Oregon to lower the misuse of, illicit traffic in and harm associated with cannabis and will set up voluntary studies of cannabis users under ORS 474.045 (b) and other studies.


  This means that if this law passes, it will change ALL state and local laws regarding cannabis EXCEPT DUII laws, and the OMMA.  So patients, caregivers and growers will retain the rights and privileges we have now under OMMA, and no changes are being made to current laws regarding driving under the influence.  

Vote Yes on Measure 80.
