“I’ve reviewed countless laws in my career.
Measure 91 is carefully written and is
the right way forward for our state.”

— William Riggs, Retired Oregon Supreme Court Justice

Ending Decades of Failed Policy

“ I’ve served as a drug addiction and treatment expert for over 30 years. I can tell you that criminalization has led to stigma, unemployment, and ruined lives. Marijuana is less damaging than alcohol or tobacco. And if someone has a problem, the public health approach taken by Measure 91 will offer education, prevention, treatment, and a successful future.”

Richard Harris
Former Director of Oregon’s Addictions
and Mental Health Service Division.

 

Taking Money and Power Away From the Black Market and Drug Cartels

“Instead of a system that rewards and empowers criminals, Measure 91 will replace it with a legal, regulated market. By making marijuana legal for private, adult use, we will better control it, shrink the black market and drive out drug cartels to protect everyone – especially our kids – from black market drug dealers.”

Rev. Dave Bean
Retired United Methodist Minister

Funding Schools, Public Safety, Prevention and Mental Health

“The regulated sale of marijuana will raise tens of millions of dollars of vitally needed funding, putting it in a special account that by law must be distributed to schools, state and local law enforcement and prevention, treatment and mental health programs.”
