SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Hundreds of medical marijuana cardholders in eastern and southern Oregon will have to find a new way to get their pot after authorities raided two of the state's best-known suppliers and shut them down.

Federal agents raided the High Hopes Farm in Jackson County this week, where James Bowman has said he grew marijuana for 200 medical marijuana cardholders.

State authorities from Oregon and Idaho last week shut down 45th Parallel, a marijuana cooperative in Ontario, Ore., that supplies the drug to residents of both states who hold Oregon marijuana cards.
