Oregon Legalizes Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

Join the crowd

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber Wednesday signed a bill legalizing medical marijuana retail establishments.

The law, which moves Oregon's booming medical marijuana industry into the mainstream, creates a registry of businesses that sell the medical marijuana.

Patients have long sought retail access to cannabis, arguing the state's rules—grow your own marijuana or have someone do it for you –?? are unrealistic.
