About this episode
Since Oregon voted a decade ago to legalize recreational cannabis, the industry has gone through cycles of boom and bust. Recently, large harvests have oversupplied the market, causing a drop in prices, and illegal cannabis farming continues to negatively impact Oregon’s legal market. Meanwhile, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency is considering rescheduling the drug , which could change the cannabis market on a federal level. Today we’re talking with Willamette Week’s “Potlander” column author Brianna Wheeler about how all these factors are affecting Oregon’s industry.
