looking to become legal

Hello.
I'm looking for a clinic around Corvallis/Albany that issues OMMP cards. I have all my medical records I just don't know where to start. I knew of one clinic, but it shut down or moved a year or two ago. Any help would be much appreciated

I think you're going to have to go to Eugene to find an OMMP doctor (place like http://www.ommpcard.com/ ). Pretty sure eugene also has several other clinics with mds so do look around, but sadly you're going to have to drive out there. But it's by and large a painless process if you already have your medical records. Call them up and go from there. Expect to pay $200 to the state (unless you're on benefits then it slides down) plus whatever for the consultation (I paid 175). It's not cheap, but it is well worth it.

Oh man that blows, I was hoping for something more local. A couple years ago I went to a clinic in Albany. I had my records and did all the paperwork I just didn't have the money at the time. I would have my card by now if the clinic didn't move/close

Nevermind, I actually found a place here in Albany and they have a clinic April 1st(hoping it's not an April fool's joke xD). Turns out there is a business here that converts your medicine into edibles of all kinds.

Wouldn't it be nice if our Primary Care Docs would sign off on this? I saw my worker's comp doc 1-4 times per month for more than 2 years (legally, I HAD to do that), and he absolutely knew all about my injury (permanent nerve damage/chronic pain), but he would not sign the form. It wasn't even a "House Rule" of the medical office, it was just him, being a prick. He was always willing to prescribe vicodin -- even though I was clearly becoming hooked on it, and had terrible side effects. Sigh. Coincidentally, when I had my medical records faxed from that office to the MMJ Clinic, that doctor refused to treat me anymore. It's for the best. As I said before, he was a prick, and fairly creepy as well (He would ask me to scratch his back! And he was always asking me if I was still together with my boyfriend. Yeeeeucckkk.). The vicodin wasn't doing me any favors either.

On a pretty cool note, my Primary Care Doc at Kaiser (in California) signed off for MMJ many times, and this was 10 years ago. Then Kaiser set up their "House Rules" stating that no docs could sign for MMJ anymore, and that was that.

One of these days it will be a moot point. :-)

Good luck with your appointment on April Fool's Day, Ganjamanotie!

It's fucked up that because a doctor has a negative opinion about cannabis they won't prescribe it to someone and they automatically write a prescription of some narcotic. Pills in general make me sick. Even Tylenol make me nauseous so I can't take it to relieve my pain.

hopefully I get my medical records back before the 1st, I cannot wait to get safe access to me meds

I know, it's messed up. And they're not even prescribing anything really, it's just a statement that says, "Marijuana may help". When you do find a doctor that is relatively open minded about it, sometimes the medical clinic or business has their rules in place that forbid the doctor from signing. It's BS.
