The list of patients facilitated by MERCY is being reviewed.
Apparently, MERCY is not meeting patient expectations (and vise-versa!)
and things will need to be straightened out before we can move on.
The Center in Salem is available by appointment only with medicine distributed on a
case-by-case basis.
Donations should be done by making checks -or- money orders payable to:
(1) PGE (for the Electric)
(2) City of Salem (for the Water)
(3) <...> stay tuned for more details
Meetings
The group is attempting to operate Patient Resource Centers in the Salem & Washington County areas where multiple services can be
provided to patients seeking to use their medicine legally.
Volunteers at the Medical Cannabis Resource Center are needed to help
maintain storefronts & booths in order to assist people with the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program.
Hosting public meetings has been the best way to serve, so we will try to keep those going.
We are setting up a benefit in Portland for OMMA/2.
We have opportunities to monitor and negotiate with government agencies involved with medical marijuana to follow up on.
Actions
Regular meetings will be attempted - Salem area meeting schedule is being defined and We are setting up public meeting in
Washington County (Cornelius). The Medical Cannabis Resource Center needs to reach out to the community and hold regular,
public monthly meetings at some location with handicapped access. As soon as we get these places & dates finalized, we'll update the
Calendar and send a notice to the email list.
Potential agenda items include financial reports, a report on members and information about the Patient Resource facilities themselves.
We are trying to define and set members only meetings (as well) so we can gather & deliver
input to the OMMA Advisory Board and take other action.
Some of the ongoing projects discussed are helping patients find access to excess medicine, educating people about cannabis's therapeutic
benefits, helping to fill out OMMP forms, answer questions and generally communicating with walk-in contacts through the office.
It is a daily effort to provide information to the public so they can decide, or help loved ones decide, if cannabis is right for them and the
steps they should take from there. Many thanks to the volunteers at the MERCY who make this possible.
Patients and doctors in OMMP should be able to network and share information about their conditions and how to obtain & apply their
medicine - growing tips, cooking recipes, which strains work best, etc. MERCY hopes to educate doctors and patients in general on their
rights as well as the truth on the medical effects - beneficial and otherwise.
We want to survey the areas we are trying to cover.
We are setting up a benefit in Portland for OMMA/2.
