Oregon State Lawmakers Propose Legalizing and Taxing Marijuana
In Salem, state lawmakers are looking to stash some extra funds by legalizing and taxing marijuana.
House bill 33-71 would allow the production, processing and sale of marijuana in Oregon.
Growers 21 years and older could keep up to 6 plants and 24 ounces of marijuana at a time... the same rules under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act.
Producers would be taxed $35 per ounce, which would be dispersed from a "cannabis tax account," to Oregon State Police, the General Fund, and schools.
The bill is scheduled for an April 2nd hearing.

Finally. Maybe if they decriminalize marijuana they can concentrate on the illegal prescription trade, meth and heroin. And some more effective treatment facilities for the people who se desperately need help.
We should also allow farmers to grow hemp for commercial use in clothing and building industries.
