While Rep. Bill Kennemer (R-Canby), who voted for the legislation, did not support Measure 91, he believed the Legislature has a duty to “implement a safe and thoughtful legalization process.” “HB3400 allows us to take the first step toward ensuring that Oregon’s medical and recreational marijuana markets are safe, transparent and functional. Additionally, this legislation provides flexibility for communities across the state to implement reasonable time, place and manner regulations, as well as establish stronger regulations for the medical marijuana program,” Kennemer said. 6/29/15
