Oregon Medical Marijuana Overview

The state of Oregon runs both recreational and medical marijuana programs. In order to purchase marijuana in the state without a medical marijuana card, buyers must be at least 21 years old. However, the state’s medical marijuana program is open to patients of all ages. 

Since the coronavirus crisis triggered stay-at-home orders, the state of Oregon has made getting a medical marijuana card easier. Applicants for an Oregon medical marijuana card can now book their initial examination with a medical marijuana doctor via video conference — a practice known as telemedicine or telehealth. 

Additionally, as part of the temporary emergency measures, dispensaries are now permitted to offer curbside pickup. Furthermore, the purchase limit for dried cannabis flower was raised to 24 ounces per day or up to 32 ounces per month.

In addition to helping to prevent the spread of the virus, telemedicine services also save patients time and money by allowing them to visit their doctor from the comfort of home. Follow-up appointments can also be performed via telemedicine. 

Below are answers to some of the more frequently asked questions related to Oregon medical marijuana and marijuana laws in general. You’ll also find links to links to forms, instructions, and help related to applying for a medical marijuana card in Oregon.

How To Get An Oregon Medical Marijuana Card

Oregon’s medical marijuana registry is operated by the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP). Applicants need to create an account and apply online or apply by mail. Links to online registration and mail-in application forms can be found below.

Before you register you will need to be approved by a state-certified medical marijuana doctor. 

You’ll need to submit the following documentation:

  • OMMP application form
  • Attending physician’s statement
  • Grow consent form if you plan on growing
  • Copies of current valid photo I.D.
  • Fee payment

If your application is approved, your card will be mailed to you. If you are a grower, your grower card will be mailed separately.

To assure that your application gets processed as quickly as possible, make sure you complete the entire application. If all application requirements are NOT met OMMP staff will send you an “Incomplete Letter.” You then have 14 days from the date of the letter to submit missing materials to OMMP.

Changes

If you have changes to your current status, name, or address, you need to submit a Change Form with the updated information within 10 calendar days. Change forms can be submitted by mail only. 

Emergency rules

Temporary rules have been put into effect during the COVID-19 pandemic that adjust the requirements to make it easier for patients to apply for an Oregon medical marijuana card, and for the OMMP to process applications. 

Under these rules:

  • Patients and caregivers have more time to submit additional or missing information. 
  • The OMMP will accept government ID cards that expired in 2020.
  • The OMMP may accept un-notarized documents that normally require notarization. 
  • The usual $100 replacement card fee has been waived for patients who do not have a caregiver and are designating a new caregiver.

These and some additional temporary rules can be found in the links at the end of the article.

Do I need a medical marijuana card in Oregon?

In the state of Oregon, both medical and recreational marijuana are legal. So do you really need a medical marijuana card? There are some reasons that you might want to consider jumping through the hoops paying the costs required to get a medical marijuana card in Oregon.

Recently, many medical marijuana patients in Massachusetts age 21 and older who thought they didn’t need a card were in for quite a shock when the state closed down recreational shops during stay-at-home orders. Although that did not happen in Oregon, if for some reason there were to be a shortage of marijuana in Oregon, medical patients would have first dibs.

Moreover, if you are truly treating a medical condition with marijuana, then you really should be doing so under the care of a qualified and state-certified medical marijuana physician so that your condition can be monitored. 

Also, at some point in the not-so-distant future, medical insurance might cover the costs of certain treatments (probably only purified cannabinoids), in which case having the card could save you a ton of money.

And another thing: Some states with medical marijuana laws but not recreational laws allow patients from out of state to purchase medical marijuana at state-licensed dispensaries. If you’re planning on visiting one of those states and you’d like access to marijuana, then we suggest you get approved for an Oregon card.
