Burke. 19. Eastern Oregon.
And if you’re like me and can’t visualize it from the bill description, here it is:
I’m not the biggest fan, but I guess it’s not too bad. I do think the states included on the initiative’s site’s great state flags list speaks volumes though (really? Arizona has a great flag?).
I’d miss being the only state in the union with a two-sided flag though.
The Oregon Cannabis Act 2012 would make it legal for adults to grow and possess their own marijuana, and legalize sales of cannabis through state-licensed stores.
Chief Petitioner D. Paul Stanford said the act would generate about $200 million each year in revenue to the state. The Harvard economist said this equals about 5 percent of Oregon’s total state budget.
Jay Joseph delves into Oregon’s dark past in his book The Gene Illusion: Genetic Research in Psychiatry and Psychology Under the Microscope.
The context? In 1966, while Oregon’s sterilization laws were still in place in state institutions, Leonard Heston conducted a study that helped to turn the tide towards acceptance of genetic influence on schizophrenia. However, Joseph points out that the prevailing social conditions in Oregon leads one to suspect that the schizophrenic children were more likely made that way by circumstance than by genetics. He continues,
[O]ffspring of institutionalized women diagnosed with schizophrenia were viewed as the carriers of an inherited predisposition for “insanity” and “degeneracy.” As Kringlen commented, “Because the adoptive parents evidently received information about the child’s biological parents, one might wonder who would adopt such a child.” In Oregon circa 1915-1945 it was unlikely that such children would have been placed into, or would have been accepted by, qualified adoptive homes. And little help could be expected from Oregon state hospital physicians, since they were strident supporters of the sterilization laws.
He goes over five other key problems with Heston’s study:
Sylvester Pennoyer (1887 - 1895)
General Charles Martin (1935 - 1939)
