The Governor of Oregon has already spoke to this matter. She or her people have not yet spoke to the local U.S. Federal Attorney about the action of AG Sessions but she made it pretty clear that Oregon voters overwhelmingly voted to legalize MJ and it has supplied 19,000 new jobs for the State and has supplied new tax monies in the hundreds of millions of dollars to Schools and other agencies. She has every intention on carrying on with the legalized sale of MJ no matter what the Feds have to say about it.
