Cliff Bentz on Drugs

	Cliff Bentz on Drugs

Oppose marijuana trade between states when federal laws end

Legislative Summary: SB582: Authorizes Governor to enter into agreement with another state for purposes of cross-jurisdictional coordination & enforcement of marijuana-related businesses and cross-jurisdictional delivery of marijuana items.

Craft Cannabis Alliance analysis: Senate Bill 582 allows Oregon's governor to enter into agreements with other states for the licensed interstate transfer of cannabis as soon as the federal government indicates that such transactions would no longer be subject to prosecution under federal law. "Oregon's bill is a sensible fix for a myriad of issues that arise when you have a thriving legal market bumping up against the remnants of a failed federal prohibition," said the executive director of the Craft Cannabis Alliance.

Legislative Outcome:Passed Senate 19-9-2 on May/15/19; State Sen. Cliff Bentz voted NO; Passed House 43-16-1 on Jun/11/19; Signed by Governor Kate Brown on Jun/20/19

Strongly anti-recreational marijuana, according to AFA survey.

Bentz opposes the AFA survey question on recreational marijuana

The AFA inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'I support the legalization of recreational marijuana'? Self-description: (American Family Association helps produce iVoterGuides): "Grounded in God; rooted in research"; they "thoroughly investigate candidates"; when they cannot "evaluate with confidence, they receive an 'Insufficient' rating" (& we exclude)
