Environmental journalism is
changing shape with the
evolution of the Internet as
a news source. With social
media sites, real-time
reporting tools, and
infinite space to house
their work, journalists are
leading new discussions and
debates about environmental
issues. They're inviting
people with clashing
viewpoints to elaborate on
their opinions. They're
digging deeper into
environmental topics for
niche audiences, and
pressuring lawmakers to
improve environmental
policies. Join OPB's
Ecotrope blogger Cassandra
Profita for a survey of
cutting-edge environmental
journalism."

OCTA 2010 Frequently Asked
Questions
I don't use cannabis, so why
should I care?
We know prohibition doesn't
work. Public money is being
spent on enforcing laws that
do not reflect the times.
Violent offenders are being
released from prison early to
make room for non-violent,
cannabis-related offenses.
Through enacting the Oregon
Cannabis Tax Act (OCTA), the
state will generate reliable
annual income for education,
health care and public safety
(just to name few benefits)
for all Oregonians.
OCTA is not just about
state-sanctioned cannabis use.
90% of the funds generated
through the sale of cannabis
will go to the general fund,
and the other 10% will go to
drug education and treatment
programs and industrial hemp
promotion. Hemp will
revolutionize our agricultural
industry, job market and
economy, with seemingly
infinite potential to generate
additional revenue as Oregon's
new cash crop.
How much reliable, annual
income can Oregon expect?
According to conservative
estimates, state revenue will
increase by at least $30
million, while other estimates
place the revenue increase
upward of $300 million*. In
addition, Oregon will save
over $61.5 million** Oregon
will save by no longer
enforcing out-of-date cannabis
laws.
If cannabis use is a matter of
personal freedom, why allow
government regulation?
An estimated 300,000 cannabis
users reside in Oregon, in
addition to the 23,000
registered medical marijuana
cardholders***. In other
words, 1/10 of Oregonians use
cannabis that currently is
controlled by the black
market. OCTA will take the
control out of the hands of
the drug lords and into the
hands of the people.
In addition, OCTA brings about
government regulation
regarding the sale and
distribution of cannabis, not
the growth and consumption.
The law extends personal
freedoms by giving people the
choice to grow their own
cannabis, as well as choosing
who and where they purchase it.
What about children?
OCTA stipulates that cannabis
is only availabe to adults 21
years of age and older in
state-sanctioned retail
outlets. This will reduce the
availability on cannabis of
the streets and, therefore, to
minors. A percentage of the
revenue generated by OCTA goes
to drug education programs in
high schools, promoting
responsible usage among legal
adults.
* Estimates based upon revenue
generated in California since
the enactment of its
Compassionate Use Act of 1996.
** Estimates based upon annual
state law enforcement
expenditures.
***Numbers taken from the 2000
United States Census.
Regulate
Currently, the black market
controls cannabis growth, sale
and distribution, meaning
anyone of any age can buy or
sell it. Regulations puts
Oregonians in control.
According to in-school survey
data from 2007, 37.4% of
eighth-graders, 69% of
tenth-graders, and 83.9% of
twelfth-graders report that
cannabis is "easy to get." The
regulation of the sale and
distribution of cannabis will
dramatically reduce those numbers.
According to the Oregon
Healthy Teen Survey of 2007,
cannabis use among Oregon
teens has dropped 1/3 since
the enactment of the Oregon
Medical Marijuana Act of 1998,
showing that regulations works.
Reform
Oregonians value personal
freedom AND direct democracy.
Hence, Oregon was the first
state to consider, and
subsequently pass, a Death
with Dignity law. now, Oregon
will be the first state to
consider updating cannabis use
laws to reflect the times.
Oregon spends $61.5 million on
enforcing out-of-date cannabis
laws, diverting policy energy
away from violent and often
repeat offenders.
Surveys conducted by the RAND
Corps Public Safety and
Justice in 2002, the American
Journal of Psychiatry in 2006
and the National Research
Council Committee for Data and
Research for Policy on Illegal
Drug in 2008 all conclude that
cannabis is NOT a gateway
drug: Of the 114,275,000
nationally reported cannabis
users, only 2,685,000 (2%)
went on to use cocaine and
only 153000 (0.1%) went on to
use heroin.
Revenue:
Oregon's General Fund will
receive between $30 million
and $300 million annually,
paying for education, health
care, public safety and other
publicly funded programs.
Industrial hemp has the power
to revolutionize Oregon's
ecology and economy through
re-opening paper mills to
produce hemp paper, creating
clean fuel sources with hemp
biodiesel and providing
additional food sources with
ground hemp protein. A 2000
report by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture states that
Americans purchased 35,000
pounds of Canadian hemp in
1999, and that number has
certainly grown with hemp's
popularity during the past
eleven years.
Oregon has a rich history of
taxing vices: alcohol,
gambling and tobacco. It's
time that Oregon stopped
enforcing out-of-date
prohibition-style laws
regarding cannabis and tap
into the ecological and
economical possibilities of
cannabis and hemp.
