Portland is expensive, You could try outlying communities like forest grove, that's a nice little college town. Be careful peeps are real paranoid out there. Public transportation goes all the way out there but it's a good hour into the city on a good day. You have to really like the city to live in portland, but you don't have to to enjoy it. I recommend sitting outside the city, get med, and stay low w/ the dro. But portland is a cool place. It's expensive tho, but the weed....smells like fuckin' grapefruit. Don't bother with the BiPolar, they won't take it. You'd have to get it for the pain.
