Welcome!

We’re excited to be hosting the 2014 5th annual Oregon Summit- Impacts of Marijuana. Our goal is bring to you Champions for Public Safety from across the nation to discuss the most cutting edge strategies when dealing with the impacts of marijuana in our communities.

The Oregon Summit is an annual Summit that brings together people from around the world who believe that marijuana is having a significant harmful impact to our communities. Attendee’s include youth, members of enforcement agencies, businesses, justice system officials, real estate agents, property managers, legislators, citizens, as well as leaders from the faith, education and grassroots prevention community to help educate and develop an action plan to address the impact of marijuana in the Nation. Over 50 States and Nations gather for this Summit.

For 2014, there will be over 15 plenary speakers. They will over the course of two days reveal their cutting edge thoughts and ideas regarding marijuana legalization and the impacts of State marijuana programs. The Summit is designed to provide only plenary sessions so that we can maximize our learning together.

The agenda is designed by our 2014 Oregon Summit-Impact of Marijuana committee.

“I learned more in two days about marijuana than I ever did in my entire career on the bench as a

Judge.”

“This was my first time to attend the Oregon Summit-The Impact of Marijuana. I learned

more about marijuana in two days than I have in my 25 years as a detective. I will never view

marijuana as a harmless drug again.”

If you think marijuana is harmless, then you will want to attend this Summit to learn more about why it is not a harmless drug and see for yourself the real impacts marijuana is having in our communities.

Tuesday, APRIL 15, 2014 7:30am-8:30am Buffet Breakfast 8:30-8:45am Welcome and Opening Ceremonies 8:45-9:15am IMPACTS OF MARIJUANA IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

“Hitchens argues that lawmakers have made a hash of the drugs policy by drawing bogus distinctions between offences of possession and trafficking, as well as between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ substances. Those who ignore the correlation between cannabis and mental illness are, he says, as reckless as the tobacco barons who denied the link between smoking and lung cancer.” Peter Hitchens was born in 1951 in Malta, where his father, a career naval officer, was stationed with the Royal Navy. He was educated at The Leys School and the Oxford College of Further Education before being accepted at the University of York, where he studied Philosophy and Politics. Hitchens originally hoped to become a naval officer, but an eye defect prevented him from doing so.

Hitchens writes for Britain's The Mail on Sunday newspaper, and describes himself as a Burkean conservative. A former foreign correspondent based in Moscow and later Washington, Hitchens continues to work as an occasional foreign reporter, and appears frequently in the British broadcast media

Hitchens is well known for his anti-cannabis views and is opposed to the decriminalisation of recreational drugs in general. He argues that the legal prohibition of drug use is an essential counterweight to "pro-drug propaganda". He has stated that attempts to combat drug use by restricting supply and prosecuting drug dealers are futile, unless possession and use are also punished. In 2012, Hitchens gave evidence to the Parliamentary Home Affairs Select Committee as part of its inquiry into drugs policy, and called for the British government to introduce a more hardline policy on drugs.

Denver DA Mitch Morrissey takes to YouTube to prove his pot point

http://blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/2013/08/27/denver-da-mitch-morrissey-takes-to-youtube-to-prove-his-pot-point/99798/

Mitchell R. Morrissey was elected District Attorney of Denver in November 2004 and was sworn into office on January 11, 2005. He is responsible for the prosecution of more than 6,000 felony and 18,000 misdemeanor criminal cases every year. He is nationally known for his expertise in DNA technology, applying that technology in criminal prosecutions and working to ensure that DNA science is admissible in our courtrooms. As the chief prosecutor for the Second Judicial District, Mitch is an aggressive prosecutor and an advocate of prevention and intervention initiatives. He makes victims a priority and is dedicated to providing victims a strong voice in the justice system through a number of efforts. Mitch leads a strong (and award-winning) team of Victim Advocates who work closely with victims of crime. He understands the impact of crime on people and supports the work of programs like the Victim Services Network. This important work coordinates different services for victims, especially those in under-served areas and communities. An important tool in solving and prosecuting many crimes is DNA technology. Mitch recognized the potential of DNA science early on and prosecuted the first trial in Denver to utilize DNA. His DNA Resource section on this web site has become an international resource for other prosecutors.

There are 77 attorneys and approximately 127 staff working under Mitch's direction. They prosecute criminals, work on behalf of victims, teach public school students about the law, promote crime prevention, and many other things that all relate to the overall mission of the Denver District Attorney's Office: to do justice.

This is accomplished through prosecution units including our County Court and District Court divisions as well as specialized units such as the Economic Crime Unit, Family Violence Unit and the Gang/Gun Unit. Mitch has worked hard with the newly formed Denver Crime Control Commission and the City to bring back Drug Court in Denver. Mitch has worked on behalf of the citizens of Denver for more than 20 years as an attorney in the Denver DA's Office; more than half of those years he has served as a Chief Deputy. He has assisted the U.S. Attorney's Office as a Special Assistant in prosecuting federal cases involving DNA evidence, was selected Prosecutor of the Year in 2001 by the Colorado District Attorneys' Council, and has taught on a variety of subjects for the Council and the Denver Police Department including demonstrative evidence, rules of evidence, gang prosecutions, violent crime and DNA.

3-3:30pm Impacts of Legalization in Washington

The Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) welcomed Mary Segawa as the agency’s Alcohol Awareness Program Manager in January 2010. Segawa came to the agency after working in the prevention field and with students throughout her career. Segawa was most recently the executive director of TOGETHER, a non-profit agency in Thurston County focused on preventing youth substance abuse and violence. Before TOGETHER, she worked for several universities in student services, including the University of Washington. Segawa's Goals At TOGETHER! Mary worked with community and state partners to strive for change in Thurston County. Now she is taking what she has learned to the state level. “I was drawn to the opportunity to work for statewide change that could effectively reduce underage drinking and address other alcohol-related problems,” Segawa said. “We can carry out broader changes on the state level that will in turn make the work of the communities more effective." Segawa has a B.S. in psychology from Kansas State University and an M.S. in counseling from Missouri State University. She and her husband have two children. In February 2010, she was recognized at the TOGETHER! Champions for Kids celebration as the City of Lacey’s Champion for Kids honoree.

IMPACTS IN OREGON 3:30-4pm Impacts In Southern Oregon

Lt. Kevin Walruff –Medford Police Department. Kevin began his law enforcement career 23 years ago and has been with Medford PD for 21 of those years. Kevin has held numerous positions during his career with Medford PD to include: Field Training Officer; SWAT Officer; Honor Guard; and Interagency Bomb Team. Kevin has 6 years of Detective experience and was a Detective Sergeant for 2 years assigned to the Financial Investigations Division and 4 years as the Detective Sergeant assigned to the Medford Area Drug and Gang Enforcement (MADGE). In 2012, Kevin was named the MPD Supervisor of the Year. In December 2013, Kevin was promoted to Lieutenant of the MADGE Division. SOUTHERN OREGON-ILLEGAL DISPENSARY ARRESTS-Justin Rosas appeared in Jackson County Circuit Court Monday representing Lori Duckworth. The 48-year-old grandmother and her husband, Leland Duckworth, 49, were arrested in a series of medical marijuana dispensary raids in May. The couple are facing racketeering and a host of other charges, including 11 counts each of conspiracy to deliver marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school and 11 counts each of manufacturing marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school.

SOUTHERN OREGON-BAN MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES FROM THEIR CITY- A legislative legal committee has determined Medford's attempt to ban medical marijuana dispensaries violates the spirit of two recent laws. The five-page opinion prepared for state Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, finds that state law preempts local law. The legal opinion, sent Nov. 5, states that local bans on medical marijuana dispensaries are invalid under Senate Bill 863 and House Bill 3460. The Medford City Council enacted an upgrade of their business license ordinance in September that would effectively ban medical marijuana dispensaries based on federal law. The council attempted to head off the rolling out of dispensaries after March 2014. The Medford ordinance now states a business must be compliant with city, state and federal laws before it can be issued a business license. Medford counsel John Huttl previously had issued an opinion that the city was on solid legal ground in denying a business license based on federal law. He cited various court opinions that have upheld local jurisdictions as they wrestle with Oregon's medical marijuana law. In response to the legislative counsel opinion, Huttl said, "I respectively reserve the right to have a different opinion than them." He said it's not uncommon for lawyers to have different opinions.

Other cities in Oregon have also modified their business license application processes, noting that applicants may not violate local, State, and Federal Laws:

4-4:30pm Impacts in Eastern Oregon

The purpose of the Malheur County Sheriff's Office is to provide community service. This includes crime prevention, deterrence, apprehension and detention of offenders, recovery and return of property, the safe movement of traffic and public service. Peace, in a free society, depends on voluntary compliance with the law. Malheur County is one of the largest counties in Oregon. We are experiencing a growth in our population that only adds to the animated diversity that makes it such an appealing place to live and raise a family. As Malheur County continues to grow, the enduring partnership of citizens and law enforcement becomes of greater importance.

In Eastern Oregon in Malheur County. Police shut down and raided the 45th Parallel medical marijuana dispensary in Ontario in September of 2012 alleging illegal activity on behalf of its members. The dispensary advertised 11 strains of medical marijuana on its website available for purchase by patients. The organization also offers access to doctors who may legally prescribe medical marijuana to Oregon residents, as well as those in Idaho and other states. Police say the raid came after a detailed investigation into illegal activity by members of the co-op, including numerous violations of the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act.

OREGON- REGARDING: HB3460 Directs Oregon Health Authority to establish registration system for medical marijuana facilities for transferring usable marijuana from registry identification cardholders, designated primary caregivers of registry identification cardholders or marijuana grow sites to medical marijuana facilities and from medical marijuana facilities to registry identification cardholders or designated primary caregivers of registry identification cardholders. The Oregon voters have said NO twice to pot store fronts in their communities, once with measure 33 in 2004, and again with measure 74 in 2010. Legislators have gone behind the back of the Oregon voters and pushed through the Oregon legislature HB3460. HB 3460 does not go far enough to eliminate the public safety risks.

• HB3460 does nothing to control in-home grows. In many communities across the state marijuana growers are buying up properties and houses just to grow marijuana, putting neighboring properties at risk and much of this marijuana is

being trafficked to the black market, as well they are destroying the inside of homes with water damage, mold, and the use of pesticides.

• HB3460 does nothing to address the extremely dangerous making of Hash Oil which can be a very explosive venture putting neighbors and community at risk.

• HB3460 does nothing to protect children from second hand pot smoke and grow access from in-home grows. • HB3460 does nothing to protect animals which are being abused and used for in-home grow protection. • In essence HB3460 simply tries to legalize illegal businesses, but in reality they are not legal in any form because

marijuana is a federally illegal drug. • HB3460 does not address who will have the resources to close all of the non-eligible known illegal marijuana

storefronts that are currently operating, so not only will newly licensed pot stores be in our community but the illegal ones will remain as well, a problem that Colorado has also faced.

o 1 Lincoln City Lincoln County o 3 in Bend Deschutes County o 1 Hillsboro Washington County o 1 Gladstone Clackamas County

• HB3460 also does not clarify a limit on the number of State marijuana grow sites or marijuana storefronts

that would be allowed in the State. • Storefront Facilities must be at least 1,000 feet away from another facility and 1000 feet from a local school,

with NO restrictions on locations or LIMITS of marijuana grow sites.

Currently in Oregon Cities and Counties are challenging HB3460 by banning marijuana storefronts from their communities because they know the risks involved, as well, they are required by law to obey all local, State, and Federal laws, and marijuana is a federally illegal drug.

THE IMPACT OF MARIJUANA FACILITIES IN CALIFORNIA & COLORADO

CALIFORNIA-After thousands of pot shops spread throughout California, over 200 cities and 14 counties have banned or passed a moratorium on these criminal enterprises. This number speaks volumes about what happens when they are enlightened about what pot shops really bring to their communities-more illegal drug use, more crimes, and more of our youth being sold marijuana from a so-called medical marijuana cardholder and pot store.

COLORADO-By the end of 2009, new patient applications jumped from around 6,000 for the first seven years to an additional 38,000 in just one year. Actual cardholders went from 4,800 in 2008 to 41,000 in 2009. By mid-2010, there were over 900 marijuana dispensaries identified by law enforcement.

In 2010, law enforcement sought legislation to ban dispensaries and reinstate the one-to-five ratio of caregiver to patient as the model. However, in 2010 the Colorado Legislature passed HB-1284 which legalized medical marijuana centers (dispensaries), marijuana cultivation operations, and manufacturers for marijuana edible products. By 2012, there were 532 licensed dispensaries in Colorado and over 108,000 registered patients, 94% of who qualified for a card because of severe pain.

• Marijuana dispensaries in Colorado have had significant negative economic impact on the city both in costs associated with regulation and the potential loss of other commercial businesses who don’t want to be located in the vicinity of a pot shop.

• In 2011, regulation and enforcement of marijuana dispensaries cost the Denver Police Department approximately $640,000. This number did not reflect Patrol involvement, Public Nuisance Abatement involvement, civilian employee involvement, such as the crime lab testing and complaint database maintenance or other agency involvement such as the City Attorney’s Office which has had to devote staff specific to medical marijuana issues; also Zoning, DFD, NIS, Environmental Health, Building Inspection, E&L, etc. who all have some involvement.

9:45am-10:30am Impacts in Idaho-How to save your State

"It's ironic in America where we've been fighting cigarette addiction for 30 years. There's no such thing as smokable medicine. To me that's as ridiculous as saying chew this pile of gravel because there's iron in it."

Idaho is currently not a medical marijuana state but has felt the impacts from neighboring States such as Oregon, Washington, Colorado, and Montana who are medical marijuana states. Monte has been a proactive resource in the State of Idaho to keep marijuana out. Monte will be discussing the question of how do we save States from the infiltration of the marijuana legalization movement and review some of the impacts it brings to the health of the State. He will review the impacts in Idaho and their push back.

Monte Stiles served his entire professional career of 28 years as a state and federal prosecutor. For the past 24 years, as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Idaho, he supervised the Organized Crime/Drug Enforcement Task Force – a group of agents and prosecutors who investigate and prosecute high-level drug trafficking organizations, including Los Angeles street gangs, Mexican cartels, and international drug smuggling and money laundering operations. Working closely with foreign, federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, Monte has traveled extensively, including multiple trips to Hong Kong and Thailand, and travel to Fiji, Canada, and other countries. In 1995, Monte completed a six-month detail for the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. where he served as Special Counsel to the Director of the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys. His primary assignments involved domestic terrorism, violent crime, juvenile justice, and narcotics. As a result of his expertise, Monte has taught advanced narcotics and money laundering for the National Advocacy Center in Columbia, South Carolina. He has also been an instructor at numerous international crime seminars, teaching prosecutors, judges, and police officers from Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Romania, Montenegro, and Croatia.
