It’s OK, folks. Marijuana is legal in Oregon.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

That certainly sounds more respectable than the kid finding it in mommy's "special" cookie jar, doesn't it?

Guess Oregon better ban all the medications and cleaning products that lead to over 26,000 child poisonings per year:

Last year the Oregon Poison Center received over 60,000 calls about poisons.
Over 44 percent of all poisonings happen to children under the age of 5 years.
