EEOC Releases WARNING to Employers
"An employer's use of an individual's criminal history in making employment decisions may, in some instances, violate the prohibition against employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended."
Their guidelines go on to state that "an employer's neu-tral policy (e.g., excluding applicants from employment based on certain criminal conduct) may disproportion-ately impact some individuals protected under Title VII, and may violate the law if not job related and consistent with business necessity (disparate impact liability)."
With 64 million Americans, 20% of the population, hav-ing a prior arrest(s) or conviction(s), many are affected by occupational criminal history discrimination. Over the past several years the EEOC has successfully filed lawsuits against major corporations for excluding ap-plicants with criminal histories, including Whirlpool, Freeman, Peoplemark, Pepsi Cola, Aramark, Radioshack, and numerous other businesses and corporations. Ad-ditionally, there are numerous individual lawsuits mov-ing through the courts against smaller employers with blanket "clean record" employment practices.

Oregon Marijuana News DIVERSIONOver the past three years, more addiction counselors have heard their clients reporting that they obtain their marijuana more inexpensively and/or for free. Historically, over the past 10-15 years, an ounce of sinsemilla typically cost around $240. Today clients are reporting they can purchase an ounce for as little as $100. Historically, an eighth of sinsemilla cost $40. Today, that same eighth can be purchased for as little as $20. There appears to be an increasing glut of marijuana availability that has driven the price down. Many clients are now reporting that they obtain inexpensive or sometimes free marijuana from Medical Marijuana growers. This appears to be occurring, all over the U.S., in areas with the most medical marijuana growers. A recent study of Colorado teens in substance treatment reveals that "74% report using diverted medical marijuana," according to Stacy Salomonsen-Sautel, PhD, a post-doctoral fellow at the Uni-versity of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Division of Substance Dependence.
Growing concern in Oregon has led the research-ers of Oregon’s Student Wellness Survey to in-clude a new survey question for Oregon 11th graders in this past years data collection. Ques-tion 82 on the survey reads, “During the past 30 days, from which of the following sources did you get marijuana?” There are an array of possible responses, including, “A medical marijuana cardholder or grower.” The results of the 2011 survey data collection are currently being tabu-lated by the State and will be released in the near future. Additionally, the federal government has become increasingly concerned about Oregon medical marijuana diversion. In October of 2011, the Associated Press reports that the U.S. Department of Justice has tracked illicit sales of “Oregon medical marijuana” as far as Florida. With the escalation of diverted medical marijuana we can anticipate that we will see more clients reporting low to no-cost use of marijuana and potentially an increase in marijuana consumption among Oregon’s addiction treatment clients.

Will it be on the November Ballot?The Oregon Cannabis Tax Act has gathered nearly 168,000 sig-natures. In May 2012, the cam-paign turned in 107,992 signa-tures. The Oregon Secretary of State Office rejected nearly half of the signatures and verified 55,869 as valid. In other words, 58.47% of those signatures were validated. The campaign turned in another 58,850 signa-tures on July 6th that have yet to be verified by the Oregon Sec-retary of State Office. If 58.47% of those signatures are vali-dated, the campaign will have turned in approximately 90,265 validated signatures. This final tally will exceed the number of required validated signatures to make it to the November bal-lot by a margin of about 3,000. Therefore, it looks extremely likely that Oregon will be voting on OCTA this November.
What does the Ballot Measure Say?The Oregon Cannabis Tax Act, legalizes the manufacture, sales and consumption of marijuana for persons 21 and older. The Act establishes the "OCC," The Oregon Cannabis Commis-sion. The Commission will regulate the manufacture and sale of marijuana in the State of Oregon. The Commission establishes administrative rules regarding the licensing of manufacturers and the sales of marijuana. The proceeds are distributed primarily to the general fund, with 10% being earmarked for drug treatment, research, and drug education for youth. Oregon adults over 21 will be allowed to grow and consume their own marijuana for personal use. The Commis-sion will establish minimum levels of cannaboinoids to achieve psychoactive properties, and the Commission will study
marijuana impairment, and "if practicable", will try to establish rules regarding levels of canna-binoids, above which a person can be classified as impaired. In civil cases, "a rebuttable presumption of negligence shall arise upon clear and convincing evidence that a person is found to be impaired by cannabis". Additionally, OCTA supersedes all "statutes, municipal charter enactments, and local ordinances related to cannabis" except for those regarding the operation of a motor vehicle while intoxi-cated and the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act. Public consump-tion will be prohibited, except where prominent signs permit it. Minors in possession of mari-juana shall receive a find of "not more than $250." Lastly, the ballot measure requires the At-torney General vigorously fight against any federal or interna-tional legal impediments to the Act.
