PORTLAND, Ore. - Supporters of the effort to legalize marijuana marched through downtown Portland on Saturday.
Organizers say they are launching a new initiative called the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act, which would allow adults to buy cannabis in stores if they showed picture identification.
Initiative supporters say marijuana purchases, like cigarettes and alcohol, could be taxed and the money could go into a general fund to pay for schools, health care and other state-funded services.
