Coalition for Cannabis Policy (CCP) formed to fight for cannabis consumer rights. The passage of Measure 91 marked a monumental shift in Oregon’s treatment of marijuana. Public discourse about the production, sale, and consumption of marijuana, for both medical and recreational purposes, continues to be a critical component of the development of policy and regulations at the state and local level.
When we voted to regulate cannabis, it was because we wanted to let the thousands of consumers in Oregon come out of the closet and to be seen as the productive contributors to society that we are. After regulation, when seeking special permitting for public event cannabis consumption, we find ourselves pushed back into those same old closets by fear-motivated regulators who still see us as criminals getting away with something.
Alcohol can be consumed in public at bars, restaurants, and specially permitted park events. Cannabis consumers should be allowed the same opportunity. Please support special permitting for social cannabis clubs and special permitting for events for public cannabis consumption.
The Safe Cannabis Act of 2028 would make the following changes to Oregon law:
- Instruct Oregon Health Authority to create certification exemption for Clean Air Act
- Direct the OLCC to regulate and oversee the licensing and regulation of cannabis lounges
- Allow existing cannabis dispensaries to add a separate social consumption space
- Allow for OLCC licensed farms to host tours and tastings, as regulated by the OLCC
- Direct the OLCC to license and regulate cannabis social consumption spaces at public events
