Medical Marijuana Use Won't Save Your Job

In Oregon, medical marijuana is allowed under state law. However, if you use medical marijuana and follow all the rules under state law, Oregon's medical marijuana laws must cave to federal law. One of Oregon's esteemed justices, however, understands well that "in our system of dual sovereigns, Oregon must fly only in federal formation...I cannot join in a decision by which we, as state court judges, enjoin the policies of our own state and preclude our legislature from making its own independent decisions about what conduct to criminalize. With respect, I dissent."
