Portland Tribune and Community Newspapers - Marijuana legalization is a lot of smokeImagine Oregon as a magnet that feeds the illicit drug trade for the entire North American continent.
That single opening sentence sets the scene for an entire article full of untruths and distortions.
The image of a magnet is an image of attraction, not distribution.
If legal marijuana growers in Oregon would be breaking federal law by allowing product to be shipped to states where the plant is illegal. What is legally grown in Oregon would stay in Oregon. Their logic would mean that Nevada is a magnet that feeds the illicit sex trade for the entire North American continent. We have evidence that this is not the case.
There is oh so much more in the article that makes me mad. You want to argue about ending prohibition, fine. Don't use lazy fear mongering tactics.
