This Friday, Oregon NORML’s Cannabis Café opens in Northeast Portland. I’ll be there Saturday night with a live broadcast of NORML SHOW LIVE from the café. Meanwhile, the notion of medical marijuana patients having their own private club is generating a lot of news here:

I noticed how that older gentleman said ” not a good idea ” or ” bad idea ” or something like that . Well , i ain’t no spring chicken myself but , there is a heck of a lot more older people that think that marijuana is a bad drug than there are young people .I understand why……after 50 years of lies , more lies , bullshit & more bullshit along with all those deceptive ads put out by the Beer companies , Big Pharma and tobacco companies which are made to ” trick ” you into thinking marijuana is a problem no wonder why these old folks think it’s bad .
Cant’ wait……..see ‘yall in Portland. THANK YOU NORML!
next time i make the journey up I-5 from Medford to PDX, i’ll be sure to visit the cafe
I hope this cafe is a success. I like the idea of having a place where medical users can gather, grab some coffee, light one up and socializing with some other local medical users. Maybe the opening of this one, if successful, will lead to more opening in other medical states. Of course with the taboo of marijuana naturally some people are going to be concerned but I believe that they have nothing to worry about.
Wow, they all said that many are upset about it, yet they got one old man saying NO it wont be good, where is the outrage?
Anyhow, Sounds great guys wish I could move there and socialize with you at the cafe, good luck and go get’em!
The clothing store next door will do a bang up job after the “cafe” opens. I would like to hear what the owners from that shop say about their increase in business in couple of months.
Congrats Madeline and friends …It was a shame that the 4 MSM’s in Portland all used the exact same video footage…to lazy or broke to even cover the story properly…This is a wonderful event ..people talk about the wild west of weed here in cali …but I live in a dry county…We could never have such a resource. Collective organization is banned, at all levels.. Oregon is leading the nation….thanx
Thank you Oregon NORML!
