Portland, OR – In light of the recent letter from the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the closure of “illegal dispensaries” and other threats to medical cannabis cardholders in Oregon, Madeline Martinez, Sole Proprietress of the World Famous Cannabis Café will hold a press conference at noon on Friday, June 10, 2011.

The press conference will take place on the steps of Portland City Hall at 1221 SW 4th Avenue, Portland, OR 97204 in hopes of addressing patient fears and concerns.  “Between the recent report from the United Nations recommending full legalization of cannabis, Eric Holder’s vague comments about working with medical cannabis states and the recent decree from the Oregon Department of Justice, many Oregon Medical Marijuana Program registrants are confused and worried for their safety,” states a concerned Martinez. 

The press conference has been called due to the many inquiries Ms. Martinez has received since the DOJ letter came out on June 3, 2011.  It strives to shed light on this important issue and allay the fears of Oregon medical cannabis cardholders.  Martinez will be joined by Portland attorney Paul Loney.   For more information, please contact Madeline Martinez at the World Famous Cannabis Café at 503-208-3395.
