Oregon Medical Marijuana Act

The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act allows qualified patients with specific medical conditions to legally use and possess marijuana to manage their symptoms. Patients must obtain an identification card from the state, which grants them protections under the law. The act also regulates the cultivation and distribution of medical marijuana, ensuring safety and security. It is designed to provide relief for those with chronic or serious health issues while maintaining control over usage and supply. In essence, it balances patient access to medical marijuana with legal oversight to prevent misuse.
