| In Oregon, where MAMA is based, the Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) allows registered patients to use marijuana for many conditions including chronic pain. Patients may grow their own medicine, or get a caregiver to grow for them.
MAMA has been involved with the Oregon program since its beginning in 1998. MAMA has 25 years experience providing harm reduction education. At MAMA's clinics we help patients with a diagnosed medical condition, which qualifies under the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, to register with the Program.
At the MAMA clinic
Patients get help understanding the registration process for the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program. Patients get assistance gathering needed medical records Patients meet with a doctor, who reviews the medical records and performs a physical examination When the medical records are in order, and the doctor agrees that Cannabis might help, the doctor will sign the patient's application to enter the program. Patients will also meet with staff, who will provide information from the OMMP regarding the law, and explain harm reduction in the use of cannabis, including alternatives to smoking and how cannabis may interact with other medicines Clinics are scheduled in Portland, Bend and The Dalles.
