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?

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 was surprised how easy it was to get my medical marijuana card in Salem through OMMCclinic.com! I dislocated my shoulder while hiking Saddle Mountain in 2009 and it left me with constant pain and irritation. When my wife, who is a nurse, recommended using alternative medicine for the pain I researched medical marijuana physicians in Salem, OR and this site was the first one I found. The step-by-step qualification process was very simple and even informed me of all the documents I needed before seeing their doctor. After meeting with a medical marijuana doctor in North Salem I had everything I needed to go to the Oregon Department of Human Services downtown to get my card. When I submitted my paperwork, it was official. I can now use organic medicine to solve my pain issues. I feel like a changed man”
