Oregon voters are closely divided about passing a measure that would legalize recreational marijuana in the state, according to a new poll conducted for The Oregonian and KGW.
Officials for New Approach Oregon say they will submit 145,000 signatures to the secretary of state Thursday for their initiative to legalize marijuana in the state.
Oregon is about to join the ranks of states with legal, regulated medical marijuana dispensaries after Gov. John Kitzhaber (D) Wednesday signed into law a bill designed to do just that.
