Anyways, I'm currently living down in Coos Bay, OR and I need some information on getting my card. I have epilepsy and am currently taking Levetiracetam for my grand mal, simple, and complex partial seizures.

Where should I start? I've heard of a place called Voter Power and was wondering if they have an office here in Coos Bay and if they take walk ins or what.

Thanks for the help

voter power is a good place to start. i just moved from coos bay and you can go to the compassion center there by the adult shop south of coos bay.. they have there own doctor . if you have any more ? just ask..

If you where planning on coming up to Portland to turn in your paperwork at the state office you might want to think about making a day of it and schedule with one of the clinics up here. There is on up the street from the state offices called alternative medical choices. They are cheap and have a great doctor.

Mmkay. Well I'm going to have my mom help me out with the whole deal because she has her medical card for the same reasons I do.

Should I just get my medical records to have them on hand or wait until my first meeting with the doctor?

You need to have your updated records for the doctor when you see them. So call ahead to see what that paticular doctor asks for.

Also is it possible to have your grower in a different county than you? Because I'm going to be moving back up to Eugene within the next month or so and I have family here in town that grow.

know plenty of people grow in the GP/Medford area for people up in Portland all the time.

Very cool. Thank you guys for the help, much appreciated!

So did you get your card and how did it go?
