Oregon has long been known as a mecca for high-quality marijuana, but that reputation has come with a downside: illegal growers who offer huge amounts of cash to lease or buy land and then leave behind pollution, garbage and a drained water table.
The Oregon Legislature has passed a measure targeting the destructive aftermath left behind by illegal marijuana growers. The bill will now head to Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek.
Under a bill passed by the legislature, local governments may file claims of lien against property used for illicit marijuana if the owner won't pay for the cleanup.
