The Oregonian, 14 Oct 2012 – Regarding the editorial: "Hooray for medical pot fees" (Oct. 9): I fail to understand The Oregonian’s continued belief in cannabis prohibition.

Oregonians apparently know what Oregonian editors don’t — marijuana is safe for adults and should not be illegal for adults.

Corvallis Gazette-Times, 05 Oct 2012 – We recommend that you find the time to read the full text of Oregon Measure 80, the wildly overreaching ballot measure that would legalize marijuana in the state.

US OR: OPED: Marijuana Should Be Allowed As PTSD Therapy
The Register-Guard, 04 Oct 2012 – In Oregon we are at a political crossroads concerning the politics of medical marijuana and the politics of supporting the nation’s troops. Many veterans returning from two wars suffer from severe physical disabilities and post-traumatic stress syndrome. PTSD sufferers are growing in number, and little treatment is available. A large percentage of those sufferers report a marked improvement in their overall quality of life and family relationships with the use of medical marijuana.
