Nothing like a little vindication for men like Dr. Phil Leveque who staked his career on the benefits of marijuana legalization. There are the pioneers and then there are the rest...

(SALEM) - Oregon's Governor has finally suggested that it is time to legalize marijuana in his state.

It is important to note that this is not taking place because people like Kitzhaber and Obama suddenly realized this herb is actually good for people, saving lives of cancer patients and so many others; it is not about that, it is about the money baby.
