Surprising it took them this long as it's been decriminalized in Portland since at least the 80's. And to think it still hasn't yet devolved into dystopia.

You are aware that Gene Johnson wrote an article correcting the errors in this article right..?
In July he had to go back and amend his numerous assumptions and misinformation

Remember that with very few exceptions (Arizona I believe for medical marijuana if not impaired at work and maybe 1 or 2 other states (I don't believe Oregon or Colorado are exceptions)), employers can still fire employees for failing drug tests. Even California allows employers to not hire applicants for employment when they fail a drug test even if it is medically prescribed

Re: Oregon Marijuana Stores open for biz....
I realize it is a little different but the SC house is considering legalizing medical marijuana. In fact it has made it through committee. IF it that can happen here, straight legalization can happen any where else

Okay Mr. Smarty Pants
The article YOU link is written by a Seattle based reporter (The Mr. Johnson in question)
He later corrected the errors - which were numerous - in the article you linked
