We all love films, especially when were high.  We love the films that make us laugh, cry, and just make us warm and cozy.  Well there is a film coming to the Salem Cinema, which looks at the debate on medical marijuana in Oregon.

A film, “Waiting to Inhale: Marijuana, Medicine and the Law,” will touch on the debate behind Oregon’s Measure 74 on the November 2^nd ballot.  The film was held today at the Salem Cinema at 5:30 p.m. and is free for all to view.  Hopefully some of you took part in this, especially in Oregon or just to educate yourself.

Post-film discussion included Elvy Musikka, a federal medical marijuana patient, and filmmaker Jed Riffe.  Oregon allows the use of medical marijuana along with 14 other states.  Arizona and South Dakota have ballot measures November 2^nd.  Measure 74 on Oregon’s Nov. 2^nd ballot would enable the state to license dispensaries for medical marijuana.  The current law allows a patient or designated caregiver to grow it, but not to purchase it.

I wish I could have been there to see this debate on film.  I love anything that will give me more information and knowledge to fight the fight.  Marijuana should be legalized, especially for medicinal purposes.
