FAQ Categories

1. CAN I JUST PRINT OFF ALL OF THE FORMS? CAN YOU MAIL THEM TO ME?
You will be required to submit an application online however if you are having difficulties with the form or do not have a computer, our staff can assist you. The medical record release form cannot be completed by our staff but can be mailed to you if necessary.
2. ARE THERE TIME LIMITS FOR HOW OLD THE RECORDS COULD BE?
This is condition dependent. Generally conditions which should have healed over time will not qualify a patient if the records show the last care received being greater than a year ago (Strains, Sprains, ER, Zoomcare). We will review all records submitted for qualifications and do our very best to issue a recommendation as to what would be required to qualify for a recommendation.

1. CAN I PRINT OFF THE PATIENT INTAKE FORM AND BRING IT TO MY APPOINTMENT?
Yes you can print the intake form and bring it to your appointment.

1. ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED INSIDE DISPENSARIES?
No. Minors under 18 are not allowed inside any part of a dispensary where marijuana is present, even if they are patients or employees.

1. CAN I DRIVE WHILE USING MEDICAL MARIJUANA?
As of now, DUI Marijuana is still on the books as a crime. Even if you have a medical card, you cannot legally drive while under the influence of the medicine.

1. AS A GROWER, WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF PLANTS I MAY GROW?
As a patient or registered grower, you can grow
  • twelve (12) plants under 1’ x 1’ and,
  • six (6) plants of any size
  • These plants will need to be grown at a registered growth site.
A grower can only be designated to grow for a total of four (4) patients.

1. DOES MEASURE 91 MAKE CHANGES TO THE OREGON MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM?
No. Measure 91 specifically exempts the current Oregon Medical Marijuana Program from its provisions.

1. ARE THERE ANY LEGAL CONCERNS WHEN I CHANGE MY MAILING ADDRESS, ADD OR REMOVE A CAREGIVER, GROWER, OR CHANGE MY GROW SITE ADDRESS?
Yes. It is important that you have the correct information in your file so that if you are contacted by law enforcement and they request verification of information from the OMMP, the caregiver, grower and grow site are all protected. It is equally important that the former caregiver and/or grower know of their status so they are aware they are no longer protected. In the case of a grow site change, remember that a grow site registration card must be posted at the registered grow site. If you change your grow site and do not yet have a grow site registration card posted at the new grow site, you may not be protected from criminal penalties. The OMMP recommends that you obtain a new grow site registration card before moving plants to a new grow site and keep copies of all change forms. *Note: To make sure all appropriate individuals and the grow site are protected and that previously protected individuals know their status has changed, it is best to make all changes (notify OMMP in writing, notify former caregiver and/or grower, and move grow site) on the same day or as quickly as possible

“I started using medical marijuana for my multiple sclerosis back in the early 90’s and when it became legal my whole life changed. I got my medical marijuana card in Grants Pass right away and now I freely grow and use my medicine however I like. Oregon has amazing medical marijuana laws and you can grow and possess a lot of marijuana. Every year I have to renew my card and it usually takes about a day and a half. I have to go and check in with the cannabis doctor in Grants Pass again and pay my state renewal fees. It is a little inconvenient but honestly it is well worth it. If you’re using medical marijuana to treat multiple sclerosis, you found the best alternative medicine out there. My doctor even calls me a couple months before to remind me so I can get it taken care of and be good to go.”
