Title:
Ore.: Medical marijuana dispensary bill becomes law
Message:
Gov. John Kitzhaber signs HB 3460 into law!
Yesterday, Gov. Kitzhaber signed HB 3460 into law. This new laws allows for the creation and regulation of medical marijuana dispensaries. Many thanks go out to everyone who contacted the governor’s office in support of this bill.
HB 3460 — a summary can be found here (PDF) — creates medical marijuana facilities to transfer usable marijuana and immature marijuana plants to medical marijuana patients and their designated primary caregivers. Enactment of this legislation makes Oregon the 14th state (plus D.C.) to create a regulated medical marijuana dispensary program.
Big thanks are in order to Sam Chapman and Oregonians for Medical Rights who orchestrated the lobbying effort to see this bill through.
