Sellwood controversy Marijuana dispensary"moratorium”?

On March 21, the Oregon Health Authority announced it had issued licenses to eight medical marijuana dispensaries – one of them in Sellwood. Since then, more than forty such licenses have reportedly been issued statewide. The Sellwood business is called"NW Green Oasis”, and it is sited in a former mortgage business office (“Bank of England”) at 1035 S.E. Tacoma Street, on the corner of 11th Street. The neighbors repeated their concerns over lack of notice or input in the granting of both the state license and city business license to the store; and a woman who said she and her children live immediately adjacent to the dispensary have special concerns over the livability of their home if, in the November election, the recreational use of marijuana – still an illegal drug at the federal level – is permitted in Oregon by the voters. In that event, the dispensary could turn into a public retail store, she said.
