Yay! I'm very proud to have helped been able to vote OR92 into being last week. The campaign has been fairly quiet , an easy victory having been ensured through the tireless work of people for decades in this state and country as a whole. Unfortunately, those who became drug war casualties over the years and are still incarcerated over ignorant and draconian laws serve out their sentences from what i gather. I received the first ticket for mj possession a little less than a year ago-nearly $800 in fines. I'm going to frame the citation to show my grandkids the petty things our government USED to do. It's things like this that give me some hope. Now, let's light that one up and celebrate! Okay folks in New York,Georgia and the other 44- get going, come along. And then, we'll move towards ending this stupid war altogether. Sine experientia nihil sufficienter sciri potest -Roger Bacon

This is so wonderful to see... But we knew it was coming. And even though we have so many states to go, it should be easy as pie. Let's also not forget about the load of small towns that legalized as well. My little hometown legalized it (I was more than happy to travel back to vote in this election  ), 69% to 31%, and although it doesn't supersede state or federal law, it is quite a symbolic victory.

Yes, we did, didn't we? But i tell you, when i was just a young buck, smoking weed in the high school bathroom and whatnot, i never thought I'd see this day .

How does that work, with a small jurisdiction trumping state and fed regs? Pardon my ignorance. Again, to all who were able to and did vote this legislation into being, THANK YOU!!

My mom (who does not smoke pot, but is supportive of my choice to do so) lives in Alaska. She texted me this morning that it passed. I was sitting up on a mountain watching the sunrise... I yelled with joy. It was a great way to start today  All of my posts are entirely fictional. I am a writer, and as a means to research the life of a fictional character that I'm writing about, I post on the Nexus to get into character. In real life I have no interest or interaction with mind-altering substances.

So i got into reading the oregon bill, and theres a section about peyote... like seriously. measure 91 wrote:SECTION 76. ORS 475.752, as amended by section 3, chapter 591, Oregon Laws 2013, is amended to read:
475.752 Prohibited acts generally; penalties, affirmative defense for certain peyote uses; causing death by Schedule IV substance.
(1) Except for licensees and licensee representatives as defined by subsections (10) and (11) of section 5 of this Act, and except for a person acting within the scope of and in compliance with subsection (1) of section 6 of this Act, and except as authorized by ORS 475.005 to 475.285 and 475.752 to 475.908, it is unlawful for any person to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance. Any person who violates this subsection with respect to:
(a) A controlled substance in Schedule I, is guilty of a Class A felony, except as otherwise provided in ORS 475.886 and 475.890.
(b) A controlled substance in Schedule II, is guilty of a Class B felony, except as otherwise provided in ORS 475.858, 475.860, 475.862, 475.878, 475.880, 475.882, 475.904 and 475.906.
(c) A controlled substance in Schedule III, is guilty of a Class C felony, except as otherwise provided in ORS 475.904 and 475.906.
(d) A controlled substance in Schedule IV, is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
(e) A controlled substance in Schedule V, is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor.
(2) Except as authorized in ORS 475.005 to 475.285 and 475.752 to 475.980, it is unlawful for any person to create or deilver a counterfeit substance. Any person who violates this subsection with respect to:
(a) A counterfeit substance in Schedule I, is guilty of a Class A felony.
(b) A counterfeit substance in Schedule II, is guilty of a Class B felony.
(c) A counterfeit substance in Schedule III, is guilty of a Class C felony.
(d) A counterfeit substance in Schedule IV, is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.
(e) A counterfeit substance in Schedule V, is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor.'
(3) It is unlawful for any person knowingly or intentionally to possess a controlled substance, other than marijuana, unless the substance was obtained directly from, or pursuant to a valid prescription or order of, a practitioner while acting in the course of professional practice, or except as otherwise authorized by ORS 475.005 to 475.285 and 475.752 to 475.908. Any person who violates this subsection with respect to:
(a) A controlled substance in Schedule I, is guilty of a Class B felony, except as otherwise provided in ORS 475.894.
(b) A controlled substance in Schedule II, is guilty of a Class C felony, except as otherwise provided in ORS 475.864.
(c) A controlled substance in Schedule III, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
(d) A controlled substance in Schedule IV is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor.
(e) A controlled substance in Schedule V, is guilty of a violation.
(4) In any prosecution under this section for manufacture, possession or delivery of that plant of the genus Lophophora commonly known as peyote, it is an affirmative defense that the peyote is being used or is intended for use:
(a) In connection with the good faith practice of a religious belief;
(b) As directly associated with a religious practice; and
(c) In a manner that is not dangerous to the health of the user or others who are in the proximity of the user.
(5) The affirmative defense created in subsection (4) of this section is not available to any person who has possessed or delivered the peyote while incarcerated in a correctional facility in this state.
(6)(a) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, a person who unlawfully manufactures or delivers a controlled substance in Schedule IV and who thereby causes death to another person is guilty of a Class C felony.
(b) For purposes of this subsection, causation is established when the controlled substance plays a substantial role in the death of the other person. So does this mean citizens of oregon can use peyote if; (a) In connection with the good faith practice of a religious belief; (b) As directly associated with a religious practice; and (c) In a manner that is not dangerous to the health of the user or others who are in the proximity of the user.

You're going to have a really hard time convincing the judge that your Peyote use is 'not dangerous to the health of the user or others who are in the proximity of the user." Even though we all know it's BS, there's still enough propaganda circling around about psychedelics making you crazy for life, or alternately, a ravening psychotic hell-bent on eating anyone around, that I think (c) will kill any shot of legal, personal peyote use. Also (and this came up in another thread about the 1st Amendment Defense), the State has the right to determine what constitutes a 'sincere' religious practice, and if they think you're just making up psychedelic-sounding mumbo-jumbo so you can legally get high, they will come down on you like a ton of bricks. Also, on the DC vote, I believe Congress has to okay it, before the bill becomes law, so don't hold your breath on that one. Blessings ~ND "There are many paths up the same mountain."

I call freedom "Freedumb" for a reason. Im not a smoker of the weeds, but cheers to hopefully legalizing psychedelics by 2420! Only 6 more lifetimes folks! lol "A troop of elves smashes down your front door and rotates and balances the wheels on the after death vehicle, present you with the bill and then depart. And it's completely paradigm shattering. I mean, ya know, union with the white light you could handle. An invasion of your apartment by jeweled self dribbling basketballs from hyperspace that are speaking in demonic Greek is NOT something that you anticipated and could handle!' -T.M.

Even though i don't care for cannabis, it is inspiring to see that at least one fobidden plant now has a strong position in mainstream culture. Portlandians and Ashland Hippies rejoice

Like I said it doesn't supersede state or federal law, but it is a symbolic victory for the support of marijuana. More importantly is that the neighborhood police (who are the ones actually driving around and looking for crimes) cannot get anyone in trouble if they have an ounce or less and are 21 or older. So if you get pulled over and have an ounce, you're fine. There are sometimes state cops on the highway outside my neighborhood, so the people should probably avoid taking it there unless they have a medcard, but that is a different situation altogether.
