Prohibition is expensive; regulation will grow our economy--Measure 80 part 8

  Now that the text of Measure 80 has listed so many things wrong with cannabis prohibition, what does it suggest we do about them?

Therefore, the people find that the constitutional ends of justice, order, and the perpetuation of liberty; the governmental purposes of preserving the peace, safety, and happiness of the people; and the vitality of the other constitutional provisions cited above, demand the replacement of a costly, self-defeating prohibition with regulatory laws controlling cannabis cultivation, potency, sale, and use; defining and prohibiting cannabis abuse; protecting children with a comprehensive drug education program and strict penalties for the sale or provision of cannabis to minors; funding state drug abuse treatment programs; promoting Oregon hemp for fuel, fiber and food; and raising substantial revenue for public use.

  My translation:  So, let's replace cannabis prohibition, which is not only expensive, but also ineffective, with laws that actually work and produce economic benefits for Oregon and its citizens.

Vote Yes on Measure 80
