[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1036280, member: 14668"] Growing weed is only legal in Oregon if you have a medical card...which can be easily be gotten with a note from your doctor and payment of a small fee. Posession of less than one ounce was decriminalized in 1973, and is a [I]civil[/I] infraction (like jaywalking, or not having a license on your dog) with a max fine of $500 and no jail time. As a practical matter, small amounts of pot are cheap and easy to obtain and there is no real risk of any sort of criminal consequences. I too am sober and I too like to joke about weed, but I also see its dark side. It is [I]not[/I] the benign, harmless drug many make it out to be. I know many long term, chronic abusers of marijuana who have been profoundly affected with intellectual impairment, apathy, depression, laziness and other issues. Its certainly not as toxic as alcohol or "hard" drugs, but like anything it is harmful when used to excess. I know people in recovery who have gotten cancer or other painful afflictions who were faced with a choice between medical marijuana or powerful prescription narcotics. In a "pick your poison" scenario like that, I can certainly see where marijuana would be the less harmful option. [/QUOTE]
