That sounds dangerous. You'd certainly not want to go back after partaking in the weed. You'd buy the whole damn store before you knew what the heck you were doing.

This new measure is going to absolutely destroy the medical marijuana industry. I predict that 100 percent of medical marijuana dispensaries are going to close down.

Offsetting that, of course, is the fact that recreational marijuana stores with the same name, same ownership, and same customer base will open up in the same locations. So I guess the only real damage will be to the unethical doctors who wrote up marijuana prescriptions.

First, they didn't have wealthy donors supporting it like in the other 2 states so the no side could beat it more easily. Second, the OR law was a little wacky, it would have directed the state to sell pot in state-owned shops. THAT would have been a serious problem and something the feds could have probably shut down.
