Kathleen Hynes, the legal and compliance manager for the Office of Child Care, who has the power to pull the daycare’s license, told KOIN 6 News she didn’t"have that information” if it was legal to smoke pot with a medical marijuana card around kids at the daycare. But an investigation had not started until KOIN 6 News alerted them. But after seeing the KOIN 6 News video showing Araujo and Jaeger smoking, Hynes launched the investigation. The next day, the license for the Alphabet Academy Learning Center was suspended, according to Hynes and Gene Evans with DHS. Araujo and Jaeger agreed to speak with KOIN 6 News and said they both have medical marijuana cards. http://koin.com/2014/06/30/daycare-managers-do-bong-hits-with-kids-nearby

State legislators with pharmacy backgrounds shape health care policy Although no pharmacists are in Congress, 46 pharmacists currently serve in state legislatures across the country. The November elections may bring as many as 12 new pharmacists to their state legislature; 6 pharmacists are running in 4 of the 25 states now without pharmacist legislators. Of those pharmacists now in office, some had served in government or leadership positions related to pharmacy before their election—state boards of pharmacy, various pharmacy-related committees, and similar groups. Others, however, were new to leadership when elected. A majority, 36, are Republicans; 10 are Democrats. http://www.pharmacist.com/pharmacists-politics-0

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Some states, including Oregon, are reporting a rise in heroin use as many addicts shift from more costly and harder-to-get prescription opiates to this cheaper alternative. In the early 2000s, Oregon's problems with heroin use were well-documented. Heroin overdoses in the Portland, Ore., area accounted for nearly as many deaths among young and middle-aged men as cancer or heart disease in 2000. When residents began to turn to prescription pills, heroin deaths dropped. But for those seeking treatment, the percent of heroin users is back up to levels not seen since the 1990s. And the population getting treated is younger than it's ever been. By 2012, that age group was 10 percent of the heroin-treatment population. Last year, 11.6 percent of all heroin addicts seeking treatment in Oregon were younger than 25. http://www.kgw.com/news/local/Heroin-use-rises-in-Oregon-mirrors-national-trend-254046501.html
