Corvallis Gazette-Times, 11 Sep 2012 – If Oregonians pass Measure 80 in the November election, the state would legalize marijuana for adults, but more importantly to Todd Dalotto, it would open the doors for medical research on the plant. "If it’s free from legal roadblocks, then patients can benefit greatly from the research that takes place in horticulture, in medicine," Dalotto said Monday in front of the City Club of Corvallis. "Unfortunately, clinical research is hindered to a prohibitive degree, mainly because of federal prohibition."
