OK here is the skinny.
1.) I am completely legal to grow, posses, and use Medical Marijuana in the state of Oregon. I have a valid and current license issued to me by the state of Oregon. Federal law has no jurisdiction in the state ( this has been tested in court, and has won on it's merrits in many diofferent cases, including gun control, liquor sales, obscenity cases, etc...)
2.) if this is so illegal, why have the producers of HIGH times, and cannibas culture NEVER been arrested for their promotion of the use of marijuana, or for it's display in pictures?
3.) it is NOT in any way illeagal for someone to give away or promote a picture. it is art, and a protected medium ( or else we would see a ton more prosecutions eh?)
4.) I in no way condon illegal activity, if any of you met me, I think you can tell, I am not just some dumbass liberal stoner in the typical opinion of those stereotypes. and have no desire to get into any trouble whatsoever either, as I have a family, and do not do well incarcerated!
5.) On the 2257 I go above and beyond, and video tape the entire shoots, with a beginning interview, and an ending interview asking the model if she was ever offered, or asked to do anything illegal. ( I do before and after in order to ensure that any reasonable person can infer that the model is not under the influence of any type of illegal drug. ( I have too much to loose)
6.) I use a legal room, with legal props, to take legal pictures! sure it is on the edge for the most typical way of thinking, but still 100% legal... ask your attorneys if you are concerned or just curious as to wether or not I am telling the truth! and I wil gladly show anyone that promotes my calendar, my legal papers at any time... I will go as far to say I will pay for your attorney time to answear that question for you. if I am not 100% right, and not putting you at any extra risk whatsoever.
7.) this a niche that will do nothing but grow... (no puin intended)
