Just learned the Jim Klahr passed away - this man was a hero to many Oregonians, and like Russ Belville points out, the real tragedy is that Jim couldnt use medical marijuana despite it being so much more beneficial for his condition - because to do so would have disqualified him for a very necessary liver transplant. For many years, he has had to use pharmaceuticals that cause even more harm to the liver, just to protect his ability to eventually maybe get a liver transplant. I heard he was in the hospital the day we passed legalization, and hanging on praying for a liver transplant after his health had dramatically declined. He lived to see it pass - legal marijuana here in Oregon. But what a tragedy that a man who fought so hard to protect medical marijuana patients and reform our laws couldnt even benefit from the medical marijuana that Oregon had long ago approved. He is the image of why many of us are still fighting and will continue to fight to change our laws even now with legal marijuana in Oregon. We have a LONG way to go. Well miss you Jim!
