WW Endorsement Video: If Pot is Legal, Will More Kids Smoke?

Proponents of Measure 80, the Marijuana Legalization Measure, were in our office last week for their editorial endorsement interview. (The opponents were represented by Umatilla County Sheriff John Trumbo, who was on speakerphone). For those in favor of Measure 80, one of the dicier issues is kids—will passage of this measure encourage more children to use marijuana? 

In this clip, Roy Kaufmann, who is a spokesperson for Yes on 80, responds to the claim that more kids will get stoned if this measure passes.

Watch for our endorsement issue Oct. 17.
