Yes, Marijuana is HUGE in Oregon.

The OLCC was not prepared to handle this big of a Load with all these Dispensaries applying for Licenses.

They have even admitted to that very fact:

“We’re working as fast as we can,” said Mark Pettinger, spokesman for the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which regulates recreational sales.

The agency said earlier this month there were more than 900 applications assigned to staffers for approval – that includes retailers, processors, labs and others seeking accreditation. On Wednesday, there were 836.

“While we understand that our speed and efforts are crucial for many of the small businesses trying to cross the finish line, your work as applicants is just as critical,” Steve Marks, Executive Director of OLCC, said in a Dec. 2 memo. “We can do our part if you do yours.”

As of Wednesday morning, OLCC had approved 175 retailers for licensing. Last week officials approved 58 licenses, Pettinger said, and applications are continuing to come in — 129 between Dec. 2 and Dec. 28."
