Oregon Rep Says Legislature Should Write Marijuana Legalization Law

September 5th

Medbox Begins Operations in Oregon, New York, Illinois and Nevada

July 22nd

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Medbox, Inc. (OTC Markets: MDBX) (www.medboxinc.com), a leader in providing consulting services and patented inventory control, compliance, and dispensing systems to the medical and retail industries, announced that they will begin providing their consulting services to interested parties in the states of Oregon, New York, Illinois and Nevada.

Just weeks ago, The Oregon House passed a bill legalizing medical marijuana retail establishments, moving the industry squarely into the mainstream, and handing medical marijuana advocates a major victory. House Bill 3460, creates a registry of businesses that sell medical marijuana. Patients have long sought retail access to medical cannabis, arguing the state’s current rules that allow patients to grow their own marijuana are unrealistic.

A recent investigative report by The Oregonian, showed that the lack of state regulation of medical marijuana has allowed widespread diversion to the black market.

“We are pleased with the passage of this bill,” stated Dr. Bruce Bedrick, CEO of Medbox, Inc. “This legislation aims to legitimize the industry, and take marijuana off the streets and into properly run and licensed dispensaries,” he added. “We are strong proponents of any measures that help the medical marijuana industry conform to acknowledged standards and practices seen in the pharmacy industry, which will in turn benefi. . . . .

Judge Upholds $65,000 Fine Against Oregon Marijuana Legalization Petitioner

July 8th

SALEM, OR — An Oregon judge has upheld a $65,000 fine levied against Oregon Marijuana Policy Initiative sponsor Robert Wolfe for allegedly violating state law prohibiting paying petitioners by the signature.

The fine was issued by Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown in April 2012 because it was reported that Wolfe was paying petitioners by the signature, instead of by the hour, which violates Oregon state law.  According to the Oregonian, that is the largest fine ever levied for violating the petitioning law, surpassing a $10,900 fine issued in 2008.

Senior administrative law judge Alison Greene Webster upheld the fine Friday, ruling that based on testimony from petitioners she believed Wolfe was in violation of the petitioning law.

Wolfe’s attorney, Dan Meek, plans on challenging the fine in the Oregon Court of Appeals.  He says the fine was levied for allegedly paying two petitioners by the signature on a total of only 26 signature sheets out of over 30,000 submitted by the campaign.

In a statement released Friday, Meek says the allegations were made by two workers “incapable of telling the truth”:

The Secretary of State’s case depends on the testimony of the 2 circulators. Only one of them appeared in person at the hearing. Cross. . . . . READ MORE

July 7th

SALEM, OR —  A bill that would expand the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program to include licencing and regulating medical marijuana dispensaries is heading to the desk of Governor John Kitzhaber (D) after House members concurred Saturday with Senate amendments to the bill.

The Oregon Senate voted Wednesday to approve House Bill 3460, which was approved by the House in June.  Because of some changes made to the bill by a Senate committee, the House met Saturday to approve those changes.

The bill will now be sent to Gov. Kitzhaber, who is expected to sign the legislation into law.  Earlier last week, Gov. Kitzhaber gave final approval to two bills that reduce marijuana penalties for in the state.

Oregon Senate Approves Medical Marijuana Dispensary Bill

July 4th

SALEM, OR — The Oregon Senate voted Wednesday to approve a bill that a House-approved bill that would expand the state’s medical marijuana program to license and regulate medical marijuana dispensaries statewide.

The bill, House Bill 3460, was approved without debate by an 18-12 bi-partisan, and now heads back to the House to approve some changes made by a Senate committee last week.  The House is expected to vote on the changes this weekend.

Medical marijuana dispensaries already exist in Oregon, but are operating in a legal grey area.  The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (OMMA) allows patients to grow their own medicine or have someone else to it for them, but does not provide for — or prohibit — medical marijuana dispensaries from operating.

This has led to varied differences in toleration of the dispensaries based on the attitudes of local officials.  In some areas of the state, such as Multnomah County, which includes the city of Portland, dispensaries have been largely tolerated.  But providers have been raided in less tolerant areas of the state, with operators  fa. . . . .
