Comments

In an interview with Freedom Leaf, Floyd Prozanski was asked the question, "Advocates in Oregon are hoping that the legislature will approve cannabis social clubs next session. What’s your position on social use?" and responded with, "My position has been that we need to take this step by step. I believe we’ve taken the necessary steps to allow for that component in our industry to occur, move forward and evolve. Think about tourism. Take Portland. You have a lot of individuals that come into the city; they’re staying at hotels and would like to be able to partake, but, clearly, they can’t do it in their rooms. You have individuals that are in rent situations with prohibitions about smoking or use of controlled substances that are not sanctioned by the Feds; those individuals should have the opportunity to utilize these medicines as well as recreationally." 9/20/18
