Josephine Cannabis Farmers Hot Over New Ordinance

Austin Jenkins/Northwest News Network

Josephine County Commissioners upset a lot of marijuana farmers when they passed a new ordinance in December. 

It bans commercial cannabis farming on rural residential lots five acres or smaller and creates other new regulations. 

In the eyes of the farmers who use such lands, the county "stole their business."  Attorney Ross Day represents cannabis growers.  He visits with some insight into the view from the marijuana producer's end.
