From OLCC. Interested parties should attend.

I can't believe there were only 180 people at BOTH of the last listening sessions. Here in WA there was easily 180 people in just one meeting, many of which were loud protestors for medical screaming people down.

PORTLAND, Ore. – The Oregon Liquor Control Commission has announced eight more listening sessions to hear from communities around the state as the agency implements Oregon's recreational marijuana law. Two meetings held last week in Baker City and Pendleton together drew more than 180 people.

“Hearing firsthand from community members is vital to our public process," said OLCC Chairman Rob Patridge. "The OLCC needs to hear from you: what should marijuana regulation look like in your community and throughout Oregon?”

The listening sessions are the first steps in a yearlong public rulemaking process that will include monthly Commission meetings and rules advisory committee meetings.

“OLCC is committed to a transparent and inclusive public process to help us implement the law in a way that protects children, keeps our communities safe, and brings the recreational marijuana industry into the regulated market,” Patridge said.

Under the new law, possession of recreational marijuana becomes legal on July 1 of this year. The OLCC must begin accepting applications for commercial licenses next January, with retail stores to open by late 2016. Learn more at https://marijuana.oregon.gov

Here are the last two dates for the sessions. I'm curious, has anyone attended?

I'll attend at least one of these dates. Especially now the OLLC's recommendations for policy have been published; this gives more to talk about:
