Oregon's marijuana legalization prompted big drop in sales in Washington's border counties

(University of Oregon) Three days after recreational marijuana sales became legal in Oregon, sales across the border in Washington, where retail availability already existed, dropped by 41 percent, say University of Oregon economists. Their study also suggests that illegal cross-border movement, or diversion, of legally produced marijuana sold at retail outlets across state borders is a real concern but not occurring at alarming levels.
