I really like Canna Law Group, and Hilary Bricken is top notch and very smart. I've spoken with her and have experience with Canna Law Group from working in WA's I-502 recreational industry, where we retained Canna Law Group.

Canna Law Group is the go to law firm for everything business related to cannabis; it's part of the well known law firm Harris Moure, PLLC. I have been very satisfied with them thus far: https://cannalawgroup.com/services/

And CannaLawGroup's "Canna Law Blog" is pretty great, as well: https://www.cannalawblog.com/

Well, I hope they are NOT lobbying for anything resembling Washington's F'ed up law. The state is sitting on THOUSANDS of recreational pounds, because medicinal weed is so much cheaper and easier to get. State recreational dispensaries are too sparsely located and, too expensive. Medical dispensaries are everywhere and the weed is a lot cheaper. All this law has done so far is to fuel parts of the black market.

We need to look to the north and learn their lessons.

May not be a popular idea..But I think if it's done right we overhaul the medical program. Let medical patients access their medical weed at dispensaries and let the current dispenasies transition to medical/recreational stores! ( I'm a medical grower)

We can't pit the rec side against the medical side like Washington has.

I think you're in the wrong thread. This one's a better place for your thoughts:

A friend up in Seattle said in February they are gonna start closing medical dispensaries to allow recreational ones.more business. Just in the city though, maybe a tourist revenue thing?

If cali doesn't go legal in 2016 I'm moving to Portland to build.machines, use machines, invest as a distributor for certain companies, and go back to blowing.more glass. Too bad idk what's gonna be happening in a year. Whole industry might change by then

That sounds really interesting, I might go. I was already planning on going to the state meetings on the 29th and 30th but I should go to this as well.

Seattle has given most medical dispensaries until 2016 to keep operating. It's unknown what will happen to the medical system in WA, but what's expected is it will be folded into recreational stores (in later 2016). That is, if you have a medical card you pay less (reduced taxes), and they may allow home growing...but may not, as well.

OR has a neat license called "wholesaler," where a company can buy from a producer and sell to processors, or by from processors and sell to retailers. I think this idea. I also like the idea (not proposed in OR but was in WA) of a "plant propagators" license, so people that only want to sell clones can do so.

PM me if you want, seems like we'll be in the same places.

I guess my point was Beta. I think we should be lobbying for smart implementation of the law. I plan on obtaining ( or trying to) all four licenses and opening a quality mom and pop operation. I've love to attend and soak up info.

Hm. Interesting. Seems time to make a visit up north. Making moves down here too, thinking of contacting a local attorney Paul Loney... Anyone heard of him? Apparently he helped draft the law. Anyway, seems due time considering my need to deal with dispensaries and now the transition into rec. sales. I've dealt plenty with the production aspect of business, from inside the industry and out. I am, however, new to business operations as a whole: Inc. or LLC, Insurance, Taxes.... These are the areas I lack knowledge.

Seems like it might be worth the $50 bux.
I've spent 10x that in lawyer consultations, but in a different state.

Need a crash course on Oregon's laws. I'm assuming they'll talk about both medical and recreational?
