Initiative would legalize marijuana in Oregon
Thursday, January 20, 2011
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The head of the Hemp and Cannabis Foundation in Portland, Paul Stanford, is working to put a measure on the 2012 ballot in Oregon to legalize marijuana.
Stanford told KATU marijuana should be regulated like cigarettes and liquor. He says taxes would bring a steady flow of revenue to the state.
Stanford needs nearly 90,000 signatures to make the ballot.
Last November, Oregon voters turned down a measure that would have allowed dispensaries to sell limited amounts of marijuana to Oregonians with medical marijuana cards.
