Matt Maletis would like to help Oregon's cannabis business follow in the footsteps of the state's wine industry, which has carved out a high-end niche by combining science with a small-batch approach.
Maletis, 37, this week announced the opening of Oregon Hub, a five-acre campus just north of the Aurora State Airport in Clackamas County.
"We think Oregon can provide a model for other states," he says. "If we get this right, we can be like Cuba with cigars or Kentucky with bourbon."
