Mule Extracts, an Estacada Employer of 70, Asks Voters to Look Closely at How Measure 3-638 Affects Existing Local Businesses

ESTACADA, OR, October 13, 2026/ 24-7PressRelease/ — Mule Extracts, an Estacada-based marijuana service, is asking citizens to look carefully at Measure 3-638, a suggested city procedure that would restrict brand-new cannabis production, processing and wholesaling companies from being developed within Estacada.

The step, described citizens for the Nov. 3, 2026, basic election, comes as Mule Extracts continues to run in a neighborhood where the business has actually developed its organization and purchased its centers and labor force.

For Mule Extracts CEO John Sampson, the concern extends beyond the marijuana market. It worries the environment for regional companies, the worth of long-lasting company financial investment and the chances readily available to business looking for to grow in Estacada.

“Mule Extracts has made a significant commitment to Estacada. We employ approximately 70 people, and our business represents years of work and investment in this community. We believe local economic policy should carefully consider the effects restrictions can have on established employers and their ability to plan for the future,” Sampson stated.

Mule Extracts acknowledges that the city and its homeowners have a function in forming regional land-use and service policies, and comprehends that some citizens have genuine issues about smell, the speed of commercial development and the character of the town. To deal with those issues, the business has actually made considerable upgrades to its odor-control systems to abide by the city’s requirements. At the exact same time, the business thinks the financial effects of constraints on service advancement should have cautious factor to consider, especially for companies that have actually currently developed operations and added to the regional economy.

The proposed step concentrates on brand-new cannabis production, processing and wholesaling services. The city has actually mentioned that existing services would be enabled to continue running, while different arrangements connected with the proposition raise concerns about how specific future modifications to existing companies might be dealt with.

Lawyer Amy Margolis stated: “The ballot measure, on its face, appears to simply ban new businesses from coming in. But because of the regulatory structure of cannabis businesses, it actually prohibits the growth and sale of existing businesses, destroying all of the value that these families and entrepreneurs have built.”

“We want to continue being a local employer and contributing to Estacada’s economy. We believe the potential effects on existing businesses, local jobs and future investment should be part of an informed public discussion about this measure,” Sampson stated.

Mule Extracts pays around $3.5 million a year in salaries to its Estacada labor force and deals with 30 suppliers and professionals throughout the area.

Mule Extracts motivates Estacada locals to examine the City of Estacada’s Cannabis Moratorium FAQ, consisting of the buddy regulation on pre-existing organizations, and to bring their concerns to the business’s neighborhood contact before they vote.
