Legislative committee ends stalemate, approves marijuana bill Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jun. 15, 2015 at 7:32 PM Posted Jun. 15, 2015 at 7:32 PM » Social News SALEM — After weeks of stalemate, a state legislative committee has advanced a bill setting up Oregon's legal marijuana system. The approval of the joint House-Senate committee on Monday sends the bill to the full House, which can take it up as soon as this week. The measure includes a compromise on local control, an issue that has stymied previous attempts to pass marijuana bills. The compromise would allow local governments to ban recreational and medical marijuana businesses in counties that voted overwhelmingly against Measure 91 in last year's election. Elsewhere, voters would have to approve a ban on marijuana sales. Lawmakers did not take up a separate bill that would create a sales tax on pot in place of the harvest tax in Measure 91.
