Local municipalities around the state of Oregon are scrambling to enact pre-emptive taxes on the sale of marijuana, in anticipation that voters will pass Measure 91, which would legalize recreational use of the drug. Although the measure would forbid local taxation, these localities are hoping that their local taxes would be "grandfathered" in if they are on the books before the law to legalize is enacted.
