SALEM, Ore. (Jun. 17) The makers of the 1930s documentary Reefer Madness would be furious at the news, but it likely will come as a relief to people with certain diseases and marijuana law-reform advocates.
The Oregon State Board of Pharmacy voted Wednesday to have marijuana classified as a drug with medical use, according to reports from a local TV station. The decision makes the state to reclassify it as such.
Under the decision, marijuana will be known as a Schedule II controlled substance, meaning that it has high potential for abuse but still has medical benefits. Previously -- and still in all other states -- marijuana was a Schedule I drug, meaning it had no medical benefits.
