A Weed 'State of Emergency'
 [PJMEDIA] Who knew that when the woke state of Oregon began turning out marijuana matriculators from its own Cannabis Institute, Pot U, years before weed was legal, people might get the notion that the state was sweet.Now, Jackson County officials have declared a state of emergency because nefarious pot farmers are behaving badly. They’ve asked Governor Kate "Defund Police" Brown for state help to fend off the bad actors.Pot U, motto: Legum Servi Sumus ut Lubiri esse Possimus — ad Iudicium! ~ We are slaves to the law so that we may be free!) may not have fully communicated the message to the weed community that if farmers want to stay free they needed to get right with the taxman. And how do Jackson County pot farmers cheat the taxman? By posing as hemp farmers and running off the revenuers at the point of a gun. From KGW-TV: The illegal marijuana farms are often posing as legal hemp farms, the commissioners noted. The Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission recently reported that nearly 50% of registered hemp farms inspected in the state are illegally growing marijuana, with a THC content — the compound that gives cannabis its high — greater than legal limits. About 25% of registered hemp farms refused entry to inspectors, the state agencies said. In busts of illegal marijuana grows, sheriff’s deputies have often seized firearms.
