Details:  

Currently, there are four ways for patients to obtain medical marijuana:

1. Grow your own
2. Designate a grower
3. Buy on the black market
4. Have medicine donated from another patient

Voter Power’s vision: More freedom, more choices, help patients in need

Their proposal, Initiative 28, creates a revenue-generating regulated medical marijuana supply system that increases choices and freedom for patients (while not taking away the choices currently available).  Patient Resource Centers (PRCs) and dispensaries would be able to dispense medicine, plants and products to patients, providing patients with products and services that aren’t normally available, such as edibles, tinctures and lozenges.  PRCs would provide patients with numerous choices of strains and products while also providing socializing and networking opportunities.  Producers would be able to sell to dispensaries and PRCs and donate to cardholders, helping keep prices low.  10% of all gross revenue would go back into the OMMP.  The money generated from the system would allow for scientific research and provide a comprehensive plan to assist Oregon patients battling poverty, disease, and disability.
