"Where’s the Medicine?

Too many sick and disabled patients are without medicine. Initiative Petition 28 will allow for licensed and regulated medical marijuana dispensaries and establish a program designed to ensure that patients in need have an adequate supply of medicine. The proposal will also generate revenue for the state and fund research.

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

Our 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.

We are now collecting signatures. You can download the signature sheet, sign it and mail it back to Voter Power. To help our efforts please contact our Portland office at 503-224-3051 or our Medford office at 541-245-6634. "
