The Ojai Post

I think its great that the Ojai Valley News is accepting advertising for medical marijuana. (disclosure: the advertiser approached The Ojai Post, but we've maintained a non-commercial position) It's a viable alternative healing medicine that otherwise would direct people into the clutches of Big Pharma for painkillers, muscle relaxants, anti-nausea medication, etc.

When did the public perception shift enough that a rather conservative publication such as the OVN would accept a medical marijuana advertisement? Was there a tipping point, such as Attorney General Eric Holder’s statement in February that the DEA would end its raids on state-approved marijuana dispensaries? Did El Marijuanero join the OVN board?
