Oregon's marijuana sales tax holiday ends Monday

Recreational marijuana consumers in Oregon should prepare for sticker shock starting Monday when a 25 percent sales tax kicks in.

The Oregon Legislature this year signed off on allowing medical marijuana dispensaries to sell recreational pot to anyone 21 and older. Those sales, which began Oct. 1, have been tax free. But that holiday comes to an end Jan. 4, when the state will impose a sales tax that extends until the end of 2016.

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission, the agency regulating the recreational marijuana industry, isn't expected to open stores until late 2016. Once the liquor commission's program is up and running, the 25 percent tax will be replaced with a permanent 17 percent sales tax.

creating "Repeal, Amend and Adopting" new rules and statutes for Medical, Personal and Retail - Zoning, size, New hoops and fees for "grandfathered grows".
OLCC meetings are being held around the state...an effort, imo-to "convince us they care" wtf We want.

Here is the OLCC website for all upcoming scheduled considerations/meetings etc.

EDIT:
If you are a grower for personal use..as far as I Know-you are allowed to produce 4 plants total per Address, not per person over 21 in the household.
Because everything is fluid right now I highly urge you to call the OLCC and ask them Specifically what you are allowed to do at this juncture.
