Yes, Oregon has a very good system compared to Cali, that is getting reeemed with DEA raids and other B.S. crap going on.
Even getting herb on the "black market" is always a friendly transaction and seems to be more of a "hang out" then a actual drug deal.
My brother visited Nebraska, and said it was okay. However you will love it here. In Portland(The biggest city) you a Hour and half away from the great beaches, hour from a mountain that is famous for its ski lodges (Timberline, Meadows, Ski Bowl) and a step or a leap from beautiful wild life and forests that can jaw drop anyone.
Its great here, year round if rain doesn't put you in a bad mood, and the people in town (at least the NE Portland area) are very friendly and great. We have a awesome music scene, with plenty of very unique head shops(3 on Hawthorn all within 50yards of each other). Police here are very lenient, and friendly (One time a cop caught me smoking, asked for my license, called me in for any other crimes, found none, and went on his way taking nothing or asking for nothing) This city and town is great. You will love it here.
Cheers.
I just moved to Oregon about 6 months ago, and let me tell you...it is the shit. The rain kinda sucks, but if you're like I am...I don't do a whole lot outdoors, so it really doesn't matter that bad. The beaches are great...although you really can't swim in them for fear of freezin your balls off. But they are nice. There are mountains to hike, camping grounds out the waazoo, and all the primo bud you can get.
