Article Source: katu.comPORTLAND, Ore. - Medical marijuana is exploding in Oregon.
There are 33,000 people who hold medical marijuana cards in the state, and there are so many new people applying for them that it's creating a backlog.
I wanted to know if all these people really need treatment with marijuana and how easy it is to get a medical marijuana card. So I went undercover to find out.
I don't have one but I know Oregon is very very easy to get one. I know a lot of people my age in there mid 20's.. who have one.. yet don't have anything wrong with them. They only paid 200 bucks for it too. They'd go see the doctor.. whine about some back pain, anxiety, or whatever.. and then get their card. My cousin even has one.. and even can grow a few plants. It's amazing how easy it is. Also Portland just recently opened up their very first marijuana cafe.
#1 - Sat May 22, 2010 11:43 AM EDTAs I left the clinic with paperwork to get my medical marijuana card in hand, the receptionist came outside and told me he’s willing to connect me with a grower.
Then a man dressed in camo ran after me and said he overheard my conversation about needing a grower. He handed me a sample of his product so that I can “start smoking weed today.”
He offered to provide me up to three pounds of marijuana a year.
I told him we’d be in touch.
To physically get a card, I would have to pay another $100 processing fee to the state of Oregon and turn in my paperwork.
In case you’re wondering: I disposed of the marijuana responsibly.
Lol.
