Politicians have continued to skirt conversations revolving around marijuana since what would seem to be the beginning of time, until now. A few weeks ago marked a major turning point in politics regarding the public stances on marijuana taken by politicians. Oregon’s Attorney General race in May proved itself to be a major tipping point in showing that the benefits of endorsing sensible marijuana (medical marijuana in this instance) policies will help the candidate much more than it could ever hurt the candidate. For those who don’t already know, the race was between Dwight Holton who has become notorious for calling the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) a train wreck, and Ellen Rosenblum who stated early that she would uphold the laws passed by the citizens of Oregon. Earlier on in the race it was not very clear whether or not Ellen’s stance in favor of medical marijuana would be an issue important enough to deliver a win, but it was.
