One day after Oregonians said yes to legalizing marijuana, the state’s top federal law enforcement official got an email from her counterpart in Colorado, one of the first states to legalize the drug.
The message from John Walsh, U.S. Attorney for Colorado: “Welcome to the club.”
Amanda Marshall, the U.S. Attorney for Oregon, said on Wednesday the passage of Measure 91 won’t change how her office views marijuana. Marijuana has generally been a low priority, though federal authorities in past years have raided large-scale marijuana grow sites in southern Oregon.
