Oregon resumed issuing medical-marijuana cards Friday
deciding the program could continue despite a Supreme Court ruling allowing federal prosecution for possessing the drug.

But the state warned that registration in the state program wonīt protect patients or caregivers from federal prosecution for drug possession if the federal government chooses to take action against them.

The Human Services Department stopped sending out the cards - but continued processing applications - after the Supreme Court held last week that federal authorities can prosecute marijuana possession under federal drug laws, even in states like Oregon, where medical use of the drug is legal.

The department was awaiting a review of the Supreme Courtīs ruling by Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers. Myers concluded that the ruling did not invalidate the stateīs program, and the department on Friday began mailing about 550 registration cards that had been held up, said Grant Higginson, a department administrator


Madeline Martinez, Oregon director of the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws, said the court ruling caused many patients to dismantle their gardens.

She said her group tried to assure patients that medical marijuana users also werenīt protected from federal prosecution in 1999 after the program began "and that now we are right back where we were."

More than 10,000 patients have registered for the stateīs medical marijuana program, one of 11 in the nation. Patients qualify if a state-licensed physician states that they suffer from certain conditions including cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS or severe pain, and may benefit from marijuana use.

it bothers me that you have to be registered with DSHS. It should be between you and your doctor. So much for medical privacy.

Hell overgrow the plants! Just like Johnny AppleSeed did.

I think registering will be easier for them to pick you up. Just like registering your guns, they know who has what, and where!!!!!

Get seeds started in the wild. They will spread on their own. Keep your own plants hidden. Never go back to the places you throw seeds out at. When you do, pretend your a hiker, get what you want and leave fast. Throw seeds out whereever you go. Then you can really overgrow the government.

Never abuse anything. Better for pain contraol then the RX drugs most doctors and all pharmacys push.......
