State Revokes Dispensary License After Learning Owner Thought ‘Compliance’ Was a Strain
PORTLAND, OR — In a move that surprises absolutely no one familiar with the circus of Oregon's cannabis regulation, the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) has revoked the license of La Mota, a Portland-based dispensary, after discovering that its owners believed "compliance" was merely a suggested strain for anxious regulators.
La Mota, operated by La Mota, LLC, with Aaron Mitchell and Rosa Cazares at the helm, has been a repeat performer in the OLCC's theater of the absurd. Previously, the dispensary faced an 18-day license suspension or a $2,970 fine for multiple violations, including selling products to minors and failing to maintain accurate records.
An OLCC inspector, during a routine visit, reportedly asked about the dispensary's compliance measures. An employee responded, "Oh, Compliance? Yeah, it's a new hybrid—relaxes the rules right off you."
The OLCC's public statement reads:
"While we appreciate creativity in strain naming, mistaking legal obligations for a cannabis product demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of regulatory responsibilities. This level of negligence poses a significant risk to public health and safety."
Despite multiple warnings and penalties, La Mota continued to operate with a blatant disregard for state regulations. The OLCC cited a "history of a lack of institutional control" as grounds for the license revocation, emphasizing that such conduct poses a significant risk to public health or safety.
Boof du Jour Analysis:
It's almost poetic how La Mota managed to embody the very essence of Oregon's regulatory incompetence. While legitimate businesses navigate the labyrinth of OLCC's ever-changing rules, this dispensary waltzed through violations with a joint in one hand and a middle finger raised high with the other.
The real kicker? It took the OLCC multiple infractions and a strain of bureaucratic lethargy to finally pull the plug. Meanwhile, aspiring dispensary owners who actually understand that "compliance" isn't something you smoke are left tangled in red tape, waiting for the OLCC to decide whether their paperwork aligns with the stars.
At press time, Mitchell and Cazares were reportedly brainstorming new business ventures, including a line of edibles named "Regulatory Loopholes" and a consulting firm specializing in "How to Almost Run a Dispensary."
We wish them nothing but the worst.
