NEW REVENUE COALITION • A PAC for common cannabis consumption

THE BILL

New Revenue Coalition Common Consumption Bill Summary

It’s time to legalize and regulate common consumption cannabis businesses in Oregon!

Legalization in Oregon has created thousands of jobs and generated hundreds of millions of dollars in new revenue, but we can do even better. By licensing common consumption businesses, Oregonians will have regulated establishments where adults can responsibly use cannabis while creating even more jobs, generating more revenue and providing more opportunity for small Oregon businesses to access new markets.

In addition to allowing licensed and regulated cannabis consumption cafe and lounge establishments for adults, this proposal will also legalize tours similar to those conducted by our state’s microbrewery and winery industry and allow licensed retail businesses to deliver to adults staying in hotels and into cities and counties that prohibit regulated cannabis businesses.

More importantly, too many Oregonians are without a safe place to legally consume due to restrictions placed upon their housing situation, an issue that disproportionately impacts the poor and communities of color. We need to accommodate Oregonians across all demographics and bring more equity into our system. Publicly accommodating responsible, adult cannabis consumers is great step forward for our state.

Allowing Common Consumption will be fuel for Oregon’s economy, but more importantly it’s an issue of social justice and fairness to all. The current policy is bad for Oregonians because it discriminates against renters, including medical marijuana patients, as many have no place to legally consume. In some cases renters have received evictions due to safely consuming in their homes. It also prevents tenants from being able to consume in government-subsidized housing, and allows for more opportunities for racial profiling. It’s time to treat people and this plant fairly, and allow for Common Consumption.

We need this now more than ever before. Safe spaces for social consumption are a vital next step to the normalization of cannabis. The ban on lounges also displaces medical cannabis patients and others who aren’t allowed to consume safely in their own residence – forcing them out onto our streets, sidewalks, and parks. We must work together to end this unjust policy, and 2019 can be the year we finally create safe public spaces for cannabis use.
