Just when some states have
begun to legalize marijuana, one state wants to un-legalize
cigarettes.
SALEM, OR (KPTV) - There is a new bill in the Oregon Legislature.
Rep. Mitch Greenlick, from Portland, is sponsoring a bill that makes
cigarettes a Schedule III controlled substance, meaning it would be
illegal to possess or distribute cigarettes without a doctor's
prescription.
Under the proposal, offenders would face maximum punishments of one
year in prison, a $6,250 fine or both. This should be fun to
watch.
