Marijuana Cafe Defies Federal Ban

Portland, Oregon is now on the map as the first location for a marijuana cafe in the United States. Called the Cannabis Cafe, it offers a place for medical marijuana users to “publicly” partake. Publicly is in quotes because all smoking is done out of public view…

The cafe is technically a private club for NORML members and only official medical marijuana cardholders, which is over 20k+ in in the state of Oregon.

Reuters reports more about other states medical marijuana laws and more about Cannabis Cafe here. “Growing, possessing, distributing and smoking marijuana are still illegal under U.S. federal law, which makes no distinction between medical and recreational use.”

What are your thoughts? Are you glad to hear about cafes like this opening their doors?
