Oregon Medical Marijuana Program Cardholders Meeting

New Location - Studio 6 - 6 NE Tillamook, Portland

2nd Saturdays = OMMP Cardholders Meetings (Clones and Medicine)
4th Saturdays = OMMP 101 (Learn the Program, Learn the Law)

Medical MarijuanaWe have moved to our new location at Studio 6, located at 6 NE Tillamook (corner of NE Tillamook and N Williams). The location has been remodeled and upgraded, making it possible for us to show informative cannabis growing and civil liberties DVDs with professional sound and lighting for the meeting. Our volunteers serve the community by helping patients and caregivers who are searching for a marijuana plant start (clone), our expert growers give advice to novice growers, and our boardmembers educate attendees about the latest political and legal issues that directly affect cardholders.

But the real success of the meeting is bringing together hundreds of patients, caregivers, growers, and activists in a safe and empowering environment, where we can learn from and help each other. Networking helps the community help itself without the greedy fingers of "entrepreneurs" making a buck off of patient's medical needs - NO BUYING OR SELLING OF MARIJUANA IS TOLERATED, violators will be expelled and memberships permanently revoked. We find that together we are a powerful force and Oregon NORML works to channel that energy into the eventual re-legalization of cannabis hemp.

As always, to attend our meeting you need to be:

  • an Oregon NORML member and
  • 21 years of age or over and
  • a cardholder in the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program and
  • YOU MUST BRING PHOTO ID AND OMMP CARD (or paperwork stamped by DHS) TO ENTER - NO EXCEPTIONS!
  • Bring your Oregon NORML Membership Card. If you haven't received it yet (or lost it), you can pick it up at our check-in desk.
  • If you are not a member, you can join online (bring a printout of your PayPal receipt) or at the door for $35/year (cash or check only at the door / debit or credit only online).
  • Studio 6, 6 NE Tillamook, Portland, Oregon (corner of NE Tillamook and N Williams)

If you can possibly help others, bring plant starts, clones, and excess medicine to donate to the cause. In the meeting you'll get to meet other patients and caregivers, learn the latest in medical marijuana law and politics, and maybe even win a free door prize. We strive to help everyone, but the real success is that our members help each other.

Changes to Cuttings and Plant Donations at Cardholder Meetings

Our cardholder meetings are a success because people in the cannabis community donate so much of their time and effort to provide cuttings for patients in need. To improve this program, we are instituting a couple of changes:

A new award at the Oregon Medical Cannabis Awards for the Oregon NORML member who has donated the most cuttings / plants for the year (beginning in June this year).

Members who bring cuttings / plants to donate get in to the meeting early. We're renewing this idea, but we need to be sure it doesn't get abused. Some people were bringing one pathetic mite-infested unrooted seedling in a Dixie cup full of water so they could get in early - that's not going to cut it (see below).

All cuttings / plants will be inspected to meet Oregon NORML's standards for rooting, size, and health. Obviously this means no mites, no mold, no fungus, solid root system, planted in soil, and other factors to be determined by the inspectors at the site. Our Master Grower onsite will be the final arbiter of plant / cutting worthiness!
