SALEM, Ore. - The State of Oregon has re-classified how it views marijuana.

The State Board of Pharmacy voted Wednesday to recognize pot as a drug that has medical use.

The move came because of a law passed last year that ordered marijuana to be removed from a list of drugs that have "high abuse potential and no acceptable medical use."

Marijuana will now be what is known as a "Schedule II controlled substance." That's a drug that has medical use but still has "high abuse potential."

Oregon becomes the first state in the nation to make marijuana anything less serious than a Schedule I drug.

SWEET!!! It only makes sense for every medical marijuana state to make it a class II substance.

I think Texas could be closer then you'd suspect, if you look at the last presidential election although Mccain took Texas without much of a problem, the Democrats did take much the border region and some areas near Houston and of course Austin as well. Now although that really isn't that big of a Change it is the first time that Democrats started to look stronger in the South so it is again, progress. Texas isn't anywhere near medical right now, but I would expect it to be less then the next 50 years, quite possibly even if the next 10, depending on what happens around the nation, I would pick Kansas as my last state to go medical, hopefully I'm wrong for my cousins sake haha

I don't think MMJ is Democrat dominate issue. Infact most Conservative Republicans that I know view marijuana prohibition as bad. Az. just passed it and it pass because of Republican support.

Majority states will need to be in line before Congress even begins to think about making it a federal case. We are making progress, but if we go about this at the state level, we are a looooong way off.
