We turned in about 61,000 signatures of the 82,000 that we need. We still need as much help as possible to collect the rest of the signatures we need so do whatever you can to help the effort.

SECTION 3. (1) The Department of Human Services shall establish a regulated medical marijuana supply system. No general fund revenue shall be used to establish the system. The system shall be funded through program fees. The purpose of the system is to provide a safe, regulated supply of medical marijuana for registry identification cardholders and to provide revenue to help fund the systems established under ORS 475.300 to 475.346 and other department programs.
(2) The provisions of this section are intended only to provide for an adequate supply of medical marijuana for registry identification cardholders, do not allow any selling of marijuana and are not intended to change current civil or criminal laws governing the use of marijuana for nonmedical purposes.
(3) The purpose of the regulated medical marijuana supply system is to supplement the current system which requires patients to produce their own medicine. The system shall not infringe on a registry identification cardholder’s ability to produce the registry identification cardholder’s own medical marijuana or to designate a person responsible for a marijuana grow site to do so for the registry identification cardholder.

Sounds like a no brainer that allows for the creation of dispensaries, am I correct?

I-28 would create state-licensed dispensaries and state-licensed producers.
Patients would still be able to grow for themselves, or designate a grower.
It also creates a program to get free medicine to indigent patients.
It expands the current program by adding production and distribution licensure to the current structure.

Stoney Girl, I am in Salem and would love to help in anyway. I am currently a registered grower/caregiver for two patients, and would love to help with anything that would benefit our patients. I'm sure i could get some signatures down here. where and how do i go about this? What else can i help out with here in our capital?

One question, as I haven't taken the time to read the bill as proposed.
Will I be able to offer my wares to the local dispensary? Or will HUGE corps spring up taking taking over all small growers?
Should I start looking into acquiring lots of Land/.warehouse space to grow?
This bill should not go forward if it will only allow a small group to grow for profit!
Restrict the amounts and I will support it...
My local Sheriff has already proposed a NEW tax on local growers....

Yes, the numbers are restricted. It is a stupid idea, but they did it to keep from having the words "increases amounts allowed under license" out of the ballot title.
Fact is, it is impossible to supply medicine to everyone who needs it for a reasonable price if you restrict the numbers. Keeping the big players out of the business does not help the patient. The cops love it, of course, because they still get to arrest people if they go over the limits. But limits do not help patients or growers, they just put growers in jeopardy.
You will be able to offer your wares to dispensaries if you get a non-profit business, pay for your license, and pay your quarterly gross taxes.
This bill will help indigent patients by providing free medicine for them.
Any person who wants to and can pass the criminal background check can get a license so this initiative will not allow "only a small group to profit".
