Russ Belville interviewed by Portland NBC affiliate (KGW)
Happy 4/20 to activists everywhere! I spent the morning Salem at the Oregon State Capitol with activists from Oregon NORML and other groups in protest of Senate Bill 388. These are changes in the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act being sought by law enforcement in association with one medical marijuana patients organization. Every other organization representing patients in Oregon stand united in opposition to these changes.
Most troublesome are measures designed to curb the number of patients a medical grower can provide for. We have many patients in hospice who are served by these large cooperative grows, and SB388 would make them almost impossible. A compassionate grower I know asked, “which one of my 26 cancer, MS, and AIDS patients do I tell I can’t help anymore?”

Thanks. I clean up pretty good, don’t I? Every tie I wear for a pro-pot interview is a big middle finger to all the jobs I had that required ties and drug tests. I’m happy to wear the suit and tie to show the world what an articulate, intelligent, charismatic, dedicated corporate worker they all missed out on because my armpit hair had THC-COOH in it.
Nice Tie.
