(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I have posted twice about ABC News lauding marijuana for Autism (see salem-news.com ABC Lauds Marijuana for Autism and ‘Marijuana Saved My Child’s Life’) and I was totally bewildered by the negative emails about parents giving DEVIL WEED to their children.
PORTLAND, Ore. - At the newly opened Cannabis Cafe, people sit around taking tokes from a "vaporizer" -7 a contraption with a big plastic bag that captures the potent vapours of heated marijuana. Glass jars hold donations of dried, milky-green weed, and the cafe serves up meals and snacks for the hungry.
It's all perfectly legal and, for cancer patient Albert Santistevan, it's about time. "It's a very positive atmosphere. We could use more places like that," the 56-year-old former jewelry shop owner said. A few weeks ago, Santistevan would have had no place to go. But with the Obama administration's decision last month to soften the federal stance on medical marijuana, the Cannabis Cafe and a lounge across town popped up, bringing a little bit of pot-friendly Amsterdam to this working class corner of Portland. Four hundred fifty million dollars. That's the early estimate of Mexican drug cartel-grown marijuana captured in Oregon this year. Another astonishing $1,000,000,000 worth was captured just south of Ashland. Borrowing Everett Dirksen's words, "Pretty soon you're talking real money!" Accepting the estimate that 15% of the crop is found, there really is real money out there, even at wholesale prices. The Mexican cartels accept that loss and quickly sell the remainder to Americans, then ship the money to Mexico in truck loads. Oregonians spend millions trying fruitlessly to prosecute marijuana use out of existence and doing so provides the Mexican gangsters with an extraordinarily effective price support program for which they surely thank us as they laugh their way home with billions of our dollars – a genuine lose-lose deal! Many Oregonians think there must be a better way to deal with the domestic market than assigning it to Mexican gangsters and with good reason. There really is a better way! Legalize marijuana! Laird Funk lives in Williams and has been chief petitioner for three marijuana legalization initiatives, starting in 1986. definitely keep toking |

I decided to take refuge in Google where I found 11,000,000 hits about Medical Marijuana. I think Bing had only 593,000. I didn’t check anybody else. I hope you get the idea.
