Danielle Baldwin shows off strains of medical marijuana Thursday, Oct. 2, 2014, kept at Puffs Smoke Shop in Ashland, Oregon, which is seeking a license as a medical marijuana dispensary. The city of Ashland is one of more than a dozen around Oregon that have imposed or are planning to impose a tax on marijuana if voters legalize it in November 2014. Though the measure prohibits anyone but the state from taxing marijuana, the cities hope by enacting a tax before the voters decide, their taxes will be grandfathered in. - The Times Union
