In February, state officials announced that 1.1 million pounds of cannabis flower were logged in the state's database.
If a million pounds sounds like a lot of pot, that's because it is: Last year, Oregonians smoked, vaped or otherwise consumed just under 340,000 pounds of legal bud.
That means Oregon farmers have grown three times what their clientele can smoke in a year.
Yet state documents show the number of Oregon weed farmers is poised to double this summer—without much regard to whether there's demand to fill.
The result? Prices are dropping to unprecedented lows in auction houses and on dispensary counters across the state.
Let's drop the excess MJ on Mexico via trebuchets installed along the border.
Well, good news is that suddenly it doesn't look as profitable for asshole Central and South American cartels/gangs to push their product here. Supplying it over the border is an excellent idea, give Mexico a taste of what they've been allowing to happen to the USA!
