Albany Democrat-Herald, 03 Jun 2013 – It could happen as early as 2014. In the wake of ballot measures legalizing marijuana in Washington state and Colorado, it’s not at all out of the question that Oregon voters will have another shot at legalizing marijuana in this state.

The Mail Tribune, 02 Jun 2013 – Police Apparently Timed Pot Raids to Lock Up Defendants for As Long As Possible No matter what you think of medical marijuana, and without making any assumptions about guilt or innocence, it’s fair to say local police agencies displayed an excess of zeal in raiding local pot dispensaries late last month.

The Daily Astorian, 21 May 2013 – It still is pretty extraordinary to realize that Washington state is marching steadily forward to legalizing retail sales of marijuana early next year. It will happen unless there is unexpected intervention by the U.S. Department of Justice. Last Thursday, the state’s Liquor Control Board issued new draft rules for regulating these sales. In one more indication that there is great fascination in this subject, the board tweeted Friday morning that the rules were downloaded 3,373 times in their first 19 hours on the agency website and this "might be a record for interest in government rules."
