The Oregon Cannabis Tax Act 2012 is a citizen’s initiative campaign to regulate marijuana and restore hemp. Just as ending alcohol prohibition and regulating that market has protected society, regulating marijuana will help wipe out crime. Restoring hemp, made from the seeds and stems of the marijuana plant for fuel, fiber and food, will put Oregon on the cutting edge of exciting new sustainable green industries and create untold multitudes of new jobs.

When this groundbreaking legislation is passed, it will:

Regulate the legal sale of marijuana to adults through state-licensed stores

Allow adults to grow their own marijuana.

License Oregon farmers to grow marijuana for state-licensed stores.

Allow unlicensed Oregon farmers to grow cannabis hemp for fuel, fiber and food.

Raise an estimated $140 million a year by taxing commercial cannabis sales to adults.

Save an estimated $61.5 million as law enforcement, corrections and judicial costs.

90% of the proceeds will go into the state general fund, 7% for drug treatment programs, 1% each for drug education in public schools, and two new state commissions to promote hemp biofuel and hemp fiber and food.

Other indirect benefits will include:

Increase public safety.

Create environmentally sustainable jobs

Over 300 economists have signed on to an open letter to the President, Congress, Governors, and State Legislators asking them to allow this “country to commence an open and honest debate about marijuana prohibition.” The petition states that the undersigned “believe such a debate will favor a regime in which marijuana is legal but taxed and regulated like other goods.”

Notably, three of the economists who have already signed on are Nobel Laureates. Three hundred plus additional economic scholars have already signed on, you can view the list and more details here.
