Ask us how to apply for an OMMP card today
In Oregon, the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) allows registered patients to use marijuana for many conditions including chronic pain, severe nausea, and persistent muscle spasms. Oregon’s program is self-sufficiency based, supported entirely by patient fees and is reliant on Oregonians supporting one another. Patients may opt to grow their own medicine, or can get another person to grow for them. They may also designate someone over 18, called a caregiver, to help manage their supply of medicine.
What Does Oregon Law Allow A Registered Patient To Do?
Under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, registered patients can use marijuana, and grow it or arrange to have a caregiver grow it for them. A patient may store (possess) up to 24 ounces of dried plant material. Patients can give marijuana to other patients, but they cannot legally buy it or sell it to anyone. To produce the medicine , each patient may have a maximum of 6 mature plants and 18 starts and seedlings :
Mature vs. Immature plants – Any plant that is 12 inches or over, in height or width, or in bloom is considered mature. Each patient can have up to
six of these.Starts and seedlings – Plants that are under 12 inches in all directions, with no buds or flowers, are not mature. A patient can have 18 of these smaller plants.
Patients who are not able to grow for themselves can name a grower (person responsible for the grow site) to grow for them. They may also designate someone over 18, called a caregiver, to manage their supply of medicine. Patients and growers must be careful to stay within these limits, or risk being charged with a felony, with no protection under the medical marijuana law. It is also important to send a “Change Request Form” in to the OMMP when changes are made, such as BEFORE you move plants to a new grow site. A patient who is under 18 years old must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian to enter the program, and the parent or legal guardian must agree to act as the patient’s caregiver. The OMMP will issue identification cards to the patient, to the caregiver if there is one, and to the grower. There is also a placard, on the paper above the grower’s card, to be posted at the grow site. These cards may be shown to state and local law enforcement officers, who should not arrest registrants, or confiscate their marijuana, as long as the patient, caregiver, and grower have only the legal amounts between them. The grower must return the growsite registration card to the patient when requested to do so by the patient, or when the grower ceases producing marijuana for the patient.
How Do I Register As An Oregon Medical Marijuana Patient?
To register with the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, a patient must apply to the program, and support the application with an “attending physician’s statement” – stating that the patient has the qualifying condition and that marijuana may help. Along with the application, the patient must send identification and a check or money order for the yearly registration fee. Identification means a copy of an Oregon driver’s license, Oregon ID card, or voter registration card and picture. The registration fee is $200, or $100 for patients who qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, Food Stamps, or $20.00 with SSI. This is the state registration fee only – it does not cover the cost of medical services by the attending physician. For information about medical fees at the 45th’s clinic, call 541-889-1075 .
On the application form, patients must tell the OMMP the address where the marijuana will be grown, and name the grower (person responsible for maintaining the growsite). The grower must agree to a limited criminal background check, regarding convictions for violation of Oregon’s Controlled Substances Act, committed on or after January 1, 2006.
Do I have to live in Oregon to Get on OMMP card?
No, anyone, regardless of where you live, can obtain an OMMP card. All you have to do is see one of our doctors and pay all the fees associated with the process and you will get your card mailed to you which will allow you to use medical marijuana within the State of Oregon. It does not, however, allow you to cross State lines with the medication, unless you are a registered cardholder in that State as well. Check your local State for the laws pertaining to medical marijuana where you live.
