Cannabis with that cappuccino? Local coverage of Oregon NORML’s Cannabis Café

By "Radical" Russ Belville on November 3, 2009

(KOIN 6) PORTLAND, Ore. – A café set to open next week in northeast Portland will be serving up more than your morning latte.

Café Rumpspankers (yep, that’s the name) will open next week serving coffee and sampling different types of marijuana for Oregon Medical Marijuana Cardholders to try.

Per state law, only members of Oregon’s Medical Marijuana Program are allowed in.

The Oregon chapter of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) will run the café which will open November 13th on Northeast Dekum.

The café will be the first of its kind in Oregon and will be similar to those found in Europe.

Flock to the website of KOIN (ABC affiliate) in Portland, my minions, for they have an online poll asking whether you support this “type of business.”  It’s barely a “Yes” at this point – 50.4% when I first voted!

Whoa.  I just tweeted it before I wrote this post and now it’s up to 54.6%.  Correlation ain’t causation; maybe they just aired it on the news and more people clicked in.  Or maybe, just maybe, I have the power to sway online polls in 140 characters or less!  Bwaa-ha-ha-ha!

I am the producer of The NORML Network, the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog, and NORML's Outreach Coordinator. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" and I travel across the country to educate people on marijuana reform. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to give voice to the Marijuana Nation and to speak for those who can't speak up.

    I’m gonna move to Potland one of these days; that’s some innovative stuff. Real progress.
