We'll see how the Feds respond to this.

Oregon's statewide health agency resumed issuing medical-marijuana cards Friday, deciding the program could continue despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing federal prosecution for possessing the drug.
Very gutsy and very brave move by Oregon's own Hardy Meyers - Oregon Attorney General.
Oregon also has an "Assisted Suicide" law. Look for that to be a next battlefield as well.
It's hard to find anyone in Oregon that disagrees with Oregon's Medical Marijuna Law or offers arguement against it. There's been no problems with Medical Marijuna in Oregon that I know of.
It's accepted.
It would not be popular for them to move the Feds into Oregon to arrest the terminally ill and doctors. Not that they care what anyone thinks.
After all - we're a Blue State at that.
We'll see what happens. I'm in Oregon, and I'll be following.

State Attorney General Hardy Myers said the ruling didn't overturn Oregon's voter-passed program.
But his written opinion also warned that registration in the state program won't protect patients or caregivers from federal prosecution for drug possession if the federal government chooses to take action against them.
