In Southern Oregon, illegal cannabis has overwhelmed the legal industry
Next year marks the 10th anniversary of legalizing the cultivation and sale of recreational cannabis in Oregon.
Economist Beau Whitney estimates 1 million pounds of dried pot were grown legally this year in Oregon. But Whitney estimates another 3.1 million pounds of illegally grown Oregon cannabis will be diverted across state lines. By Whitney’s calculations, that means three times as much weed is shipped out of state as is sold in Oregon’s licensed shops.
