On this edition of Century: Oregon Considers Adopting Ryan\'s Law. On

January 23, HR 6938, the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water

Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026,

was signed into law. The medical marijuana rider that prevents the DOJ

from going after state-legal medical marijuana programs and businesses

failed to include Nebraska in the list of states to which that

protection is extended. We hear about the potential impact of this and

plans for the future from Founder and Executive Director of Americans

for Safe Access, Steph Sherer; the Executive Director of Nebraskans

for Medical Marijuana, Crista Eggers; and parent and medical cannabis

advocate Dominic Gillen. Plus, the Oregon Legislature is considering

improvements to the state\'s medical marijuana program. House Bill

4142, Oregon\'s \"Ryan\'s Law,\" was approved by the House Committee on

Health Care on February 12. We hear testimony from the Committee\'s

February 10 public hearing on that measure including from the bill\'s

lead sponsor, OR State Rep. Farrah Chaichi, Compassionate Oregon\'s

Anthony Taylor, and Jim Bartell, father of Ryan Bartell, for whom

Ryan\'s Law is named.
