West Coast wildfires threaten hundreds of MJ businessesFueling concerns about a ‘new normal’ The Oregonian reported that roughly 20% of the state’s licensed marijuana companies, or
408 businesses, are located in areas that are being evacuated because of the fires. That includes East Fork Cultivars, which was evacuated Wednesday morning, Howard said.
Howard added that southern Oregon, along with Northern California, has for generations produced most of the marijuana in the U.S. and is known in many circles as the “breadbasket” of cannabis consumers.
“The breadbasket of cannabis … is all on fire,” he said, referring to more wildfires having sprung up in both states.
