Deschutes County commissioners are weighing public comments on marijuana regulations after contentious public hearings Monday.
Commissioners are considering rules for things like odor, noise and lighting from commercial pot grows. An advisory committee helped develop the rules after the county put a temporary ban on recreational marijuana cultivation last year.
Some residents fear new pot farms could threaten rural life in Central Oregon.
"I am extremely allergic to pot," said Elise Wolf, who lives in Deschutes County. "I don't want to smell it. I don't want to see your razor wire, and I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear your generators, and I don't want to hear any of that."
Some opponents of new marijuana businesses in Deschutes County asked the commissioners to opt out of the recreational industry entirely.
Supporters of the proposed rules said the marijuana industry will bring economic benefits and tax revenue to the region.
Business owner Brian Jones said the marijuana industry will provide new jobs.
"These are living wage jobs," said Jones. "Potentially lifelong careers, and will come with all of the perks and benefits of any other industry. It is clear that if the committee chooses to opt out, then it is opting out on jobs."
County commissioners will deliberate over the proposed regulations this week, but may not immediately issue a decision about the proposed rules.
