You don’t have to have an MMJ card to legally buy cannabis in Oregon, but there are multiple reasons to become a cardholder, including:
Medical card holders pay 0% sales tax and can possess up to 24 ounces of medical cannabis products.
The Oregon Health Authority oversees the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP). Oregon is one of the more liberal states when it comes to cannabis, whether it’s medical or recreational.
1973 – Oregon becomes the first state in the US to decriminalize cannabis.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s – there was essentially a long legal tussle between re-criminalizing and further decriminalization of cannabis.
1994 – Chris Iverson opens up the first Cannabis Buyers’ Club.
1998 – Oregon Ballot Measure 67 legalizes medical marijuana in Oregon.
2000 – The U.S. District Court suggests that physicians who are recommending cannabis in good faith should not have to face fears of sanction by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
2014 – Oregon approves Measure 91, legalizing non-medical use and cultivation (i.e. recreational) cannabis.
How to qualify
Anyone aged 18 or over can apply for a medical marijuana card for themselves. Those aged under 18 will need a caregiver who is their legal guardian. The caregiver must be 18 years of age or older.
Patients must be a citizen of the United States. If you do not have an Oregon I.D. an out of state I.D., passport, or other photo I.D. with proof of residency such as a bank statement, utility bill, etc is acceptable. You must be an Oregon resident.
A caregiver growing for a specific patient:
In Oregon, the following conditions may qualify you for a medical marijuana recommendation:
Qualifying patients may grow up to 16 plants, 6 mature and 10 seedlings per residence. Non-medical users can grow up to 4 plants per residence.
Do not take your cannabis over state lines. Keep your cannabis in Oregon. If you are moving around the state of Oregon with cannabis, keep it to reasonable amounts.
Caregivers
Caregivers are those who have been nominated to provide qualifying patients access to medical cannabis, in particular minors and those who are unable to go to a dispensary or grow cannabis on their own.
The designated primary caregiver is the person that has significant responsibility for managing the well-being of a person who has been diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition.
Primary caregiver does not include the patient’s physician. Here's some more important information for caregivers:
01
Medical cannabis caregivers must be at least 21 years of age.
02
A patient may only have one primary caregiver.
03
The caregiver can be added as part of the application process.
04
There is no additional fee.
A valid Oregon medical marijuana card may, however, be recognized by other states with medical marijuana reciprocity allowances in their programs. This reciprocity is one key benefit for medical marijuana users. Unlike recreational cannabis users, medical marijuana users with a medical marijuana card can travel to the states listed above and purchase the medical marijuana they require while they are out of state.
