The United States' first marijuana cafe opened on Friday, posing an early test of the Obama administration's move to relax policing of medical use of the drug.

The Cannabis Cafe in Portland, Oregon, 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.

"This club represents personal freedom, finally, for our members," said Madeline Martinez, Oregon's executive director of NORML, a group pushing for marijuana legalization. "Our plans go beyond serving food and marijuana," said Martinez. "We hope to have classes, seminars, even a Cannabis Community College, based here to help people learn about growing and other uses for cannabis."

The cafe -- in a two-story building which formerly housed a speak-easy and adult erotic club Rumpspankers -- is technically a private club, but is open to any Oregon residents who are NORML members and hold an official medical marijuana card. Members pay $25 per month to use the 100-person capacity cafe. They don't buy marijuana, but get it free over the counter from "budtenders". Open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., it serves food but has no liquor license.

So they can serve marijuana, but not beer?

Steroid shops next?

Pay 100 buccks per month and get as much AS as you want. Inside the cafe is a licensed endocrinologist (make sure internal organs are functioning well), toxicologist (to clean out liver), dermatologist (acne and bitch tits) and psychologist (to deal with the few cases of roid rage). There will be a nutritionist (for dieting) and phlebotomist (to draw blood and to give roid/GH injections). There will be a large posing/posedown room (mirrored of course) as well as a diner (to satisfy the off season binge) to provide tasty meals.

Anyone wanna invest now? Could be VERY LUCRATIVE!!!
