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.
