In the state of Oregon, there are approximately 21,000 people registered to use medical marijuana for a whole range of different illnesses. As a result of President Obama’s recent declaration to law enforcement authorities to refrain from prosecuting users and suppliers under a state’s medical marijuana law, there have been a number of recent developments that are rather interesting.
Last week, an adventuresome entrepreneur opened the “Cannabis Café” in Portland Oregon. It is the first U.S. establishment which can allow a certified medical marijuana/pot user to acquire and consume marijuana in a public place. The monthly membership fee is $25.00. Members are served by “budtenders.” Food and non-alcoholic beverages are also available.
The site of the “Cannabis Café” has had a rather exotic history. For a while it was a speakeasy and later became a topless bar called “Rumpspankers.”
