As the cannabis industry continues to grow in Oregon, the state is cracking down on illegal cannabis operations. In an effort to reduce the amount of cannabis being grown and sold illegally, Oregon is holding landowners responsible for any illegal cannabis activity on their properties.
Under the new rules, landowners are required to inform the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) of any cannabis activities taking place on their property, including growing, processing, or selling. If landowners fail to report any activity, they could be fined up to $10,000 for each violation.
The OLCC has also set up a hotline for landowners to report any suspicious activities. Landowners can call the hotline to report any activity that could be related to illegal cannabis operations. The OLCC will then investigate the report and take appropriate action.
In addition to holding landowners responsible, the OLCC is also taking steps to crack down on illegal cannabis operations. The OLCC has increased its enforcement efforts, including conducting more inspections and increasing penalties for violations. The OLCC is also working with local law enforcement to identify and shut down illegal operations.
The OLCC has also implemented a tracking system to monitor the cultivation, processing, and sale of cannabis. The system allows the OLCC to trace cannabis from seed to sale, ensuring that all cannabis products are legal and properly labeled.
By holding landowners responsible and increasing its enforcement efforts, the OLCC is hoping to reduce the amount of illegal cannabis activity in Oregon. The OLCC’s efforts are aimed at protecting consumers and ensuring that the state’s cannabis industry is operating safely and legally.
The OLCC’s efforts are already having an impact. In the last year, the number of illegal cannabis operations in Oregon has decreased significantly. The OLCC is hopeful that its efforts will continue to reduce the amount of illegal cannabis activity in the state.
