A total of eight marijuana growers in Oregon has been given licenses by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. The agency has the responsibility to oversee Oregon's recreational marijuana market.
The OLCC chair, Rob Patridge, said the licenses reflect the pioneering spirit of Oregon. Patridge added that these cannabis growers came from different backgrounds and possess different entrepreneurial spirit of the industry as per OPB.
The OLCC has granted licenses to growers in Lane, Washington, Tillamook, Jackson, Clackamas and Josephine countries with a variety of mix medium and large scale indoor and outdoor cultivation growers. The agency said these growers can start their operations the moment they pay their annual licensing fee.
Mark Pettinger, the spokesperson of the OLCC said that the agency's main agenda is to approve growers first in order for them to establish the supply chain before they can approve the dispensing. The dispensing license though will be approved by October this year.
