PORTLAND — Authorities in charge of Oregon's legal marijuana market said Wednesday that they will ask store owners to voluntarily review pot products on their shelves and pull any they feel might be unsafe as concern mounts about severe lung illnesses and deaths tied to vaping across the U.S.
We have these shops everywhere in the Portland area; got one two blocks from my house, in fact. It used to be a small grocery, but now it's a pot shop.
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which also regulates pot, will ask stores to put up signs warning about the potential dangers of vaping, executive director Steve Marks told The Associated Press.
They can't order them to do so as yet, nor can they ban vaping devices or ingredients. So what, exactly, are they "regulating" when it comes to pot and/or vaping? Apparently, not much. It seems that they simply process paperwork.
