​Read this article in the Seattle Times
 regarding the overproduction problem in Oregon. We are having the same problem here in Washington, which forces our producers to drop prices to below what is profitable. The Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board must take up this issue now, before more growers are pushed out of business! Read a snippet from the article below:

"The marijuana industry has been watching federal prosecutors in states with legalized weed like Oregon closely since Sessions rescinded the so-called Cole memo. U.S. attorneys in states where marijuana is legal under state law now face the delicate question of how to do their jobs and hew to the federal ban.
​
Williams sought to calm fears among pot growers, but said the market has a problem that must be addressed. Everyone needs a “bottom-line answer” on how much excess marijuana is being produced and how much of it winds up on the black market, he said."
