cafe

The United States' first marijuana cafe opened its doors for the first time late last week in Portland, Oregon. It is considered as an early test of the Obama administration's move to relax policing of medical use of the drug.

The news made headlines this week as the Cannabis Cafe is the first to give certified medical marijuana users a place to get hold of the drug and smoke it - as long as they are out of public view - despite a federal ban, Reuters reports.
