MEDFORD, Ore.  — The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office will use state grant money to go after black-market marijuana producers and legal growers who harvest more than their license allows.

The nearly-$600,000 grant from a new program will pay for three detectives, one crime analyst and a part-time prosecutor, The Mail Tribune reported Friday. That’s in addition to another three-year federal grant of $250,000 that pays for two additional deputies tasked with pot enforcement.
