You know what Medical Marijuana has done for Oregon that NOBODY talks about?

28. I have another take on this

The MM program in Oregon has become a barrier to outright legalization by creating vested interests who benefit from keeping it illegal.
The state gets $200 a year from each of the 40,000 or so MM patients.
The clinics get about $150 a year to certify and re-certify MM patients.
Designated growers can usually grow far more marijuana than a patient consumes and the rest is sold on the black market.
These interests are sitting on a cash cow.
It makes for great pot but it makes legalization less likely.
