Oregon hires director of marijuana programs Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Dec. 16, 2014 at 12:24 PM Updated Dec 16, 2014 at 12:36 PM Posted Dec. 16, 2014 at 12:24 PM Updated Dec 16, 2014 at 12:36 PM » Social News MILWAUKIE — An Oregon official who oversaw the rollout of medical marijuana dispensaries will now lead preparations to regulate recreational marijuana. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission announced Tuesday that Tom Burns will be the director of marijuana programs. The voter-approved marijuana initiative requires the OLCC to come up with regulations for growing, testing and distributing marijuana. Sales are likely to begin early in 2016. Burns is currently the director of pharmaceutical purchasing for the Oregon Health Authority. In that job, he was in charge of developing regulations for stores that distribute medical marijuana. Burns was previously the chief executive officer of the California State Senate and vice president for state government affairs for GlaxoSmith. — Associated Press MailTribune.com Writer Posted Dec. 16, 2014 at 12:24 PM Updated Dec 16, 2014 at 12:36 PM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
