This year Eugene voted Moss Crossing best dispensary, and as soon as you walk in you understand why. The decorating is comfortable and relaxing, and you are soothed by the music and calm energy of the staff. Along the walls are beautiful manicured plants, local art and an excellent selection of cannabis products. “All glassware is sourced locally,” Manager Jaime Przybyla says. “Supporting local artists and farms is one of our goals.”

Another thing the staff of Moss Crossing takes seriously is waste and pollution. To combat this they have implemented a program that promotes recycling. “Cannabis created a lot of plastic waste, so we have a drop point for containers,” Przybyla says. “If you bring in plastic from a cannabis product we donate $.25 to one of three of our outreach projects. One of which is in collaboration with The Last Prisoner Project where we are working to free people incarcerated for cannabis convictions.”

A Note From the Publisher

Dear Readers,

The last two years have been some of the hardest in Eugene Weekly’s 43 years. There were moments when keeping the paper alive felt uncertain. And yet, here we are — still publishing, still investigating, still showing up every week.

That’s because of you!

Not just because of financial support (though that matters enormously), but because of the emails, notes, conversations, encouragement and ideas you shared along the way. You reminded us why this paper exists and who it’s for.

Listening to readers has always been at the heart of Eugene Weekly. This year, that meant launching our popular weekly Activist Alert column, after many of you told us there was no single, reliable place to find information about rallies, meetings and ways to get involved. You asked. We responded.

We’ve also continued to deepen the coverage that sets Eugene Weekly apart, including our in-depth reporting on local real estate development through Bricks & Mortar — digging into what’s being built, who’s behind it and how those decisions shape our community.

And, of course, we’ve continued to bring you the stories and features many of you depend on: investigations and local government reporting, arts and culture coverage, sudoku and crossword puzzles, Savage Love, and our extensive community events calendar. We feature award-winning stories by University of Oregon student reporters getting real world journalism experience. All free. In print and online.

None of this happens by accident. It happens because readers step up and say: this matters.

As we head into a new year, please consider supporting Eugene Weekly if you’re able. Every dollar helps keep us digging, questioning, celebrating — and yes, occasionally annoying exactly the right people. We consider that a public service.

Thank you for standing with us!
