Oregon officials are backing off their proposal to prohibit sales of pot-infused treats at medical marijuana stores.

In a new set of rules released Monday, the Oregon Health Authority will only ban marijuana-laced products that are made or packaged in ways that might appeal to children. That means nothing brightly colored or formed in the shape of animals, toys or candies. …

This is from the folks who seek to ban cigarette smoking. But marijuana-laced munchies are politically correct...

Those would have been the top sellers.

I know we have lots of libtards around but this legal pot is one of the biggest mistakes this country is making....it pales of course to the creeps electing the obamanation...

we're not a single ethnicity...we've got this "diversity" thing and we have lots and lots of people who are not disciplined or smart enough nor decent enough to use this crap responsibly...

True but it’ll probably make them too lethargic to vote. Win-win

There are going to be a lot of negative side-effects from the gradual nationwide legalization of marijuana, but they pale in comparison to the current negative side-effects from the failed "war" on drugs.

Now that our local police (and federal agencies) are armed to the teeth with surplus gear from the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars and have SWAT members aching for a chance to use their new toys, we can only imagine the amount of destruction and death that would have been visited upon America's citizens if the former drug laws were aggressively enforced.

Not every evil can be best addressed by attempting to ban it. A lot of wealth is “urinated” away in order to rid the country of 1/10 of its pot. Life is certainly about more than dollars and cents, but even in dollars could it cost more to put a drug rehab place on every corner?

This is the so called “victimless” (self victimizing) crimes. Faith became flaccid and law was called in to do what grace was unwilling to muster itself to address. The devastation that followed was quite predictable to anyone who knew the bible. Not talking here about evils like abortion which have other victims. Or about crimes against others committed “under the influence.”

My Dr. told me today that he doesn’t even look for usage, as he felt that it isn’t that terribly bad for the user.
