Legend of the Dream Catcher: Native Americans of the Great Plains believe the air filled with both good and bad dreams.

Historically, dreamcatchers were hung in the tipi or lodge and on a baby’s cradle board. For more info, call MERCY at: 503.363-4588 –or- visit: Mercy Center Office.

HELP! People Needing Medical Cannabis Across America. TAKE ACTION NOW!
This is a chain e-mail you can't refuse. Unlike most, this will actually
help you - and a whole buncha others - just by passing it on.
Cannabis consumer or not - from the folks just trying to take care of themselves or a loved one to those who simply see the expensive, immoral waste of making war on the sick and dying - everyone is affected by this issue.
There are a number of medical cannabis (marijuana) bills in play in
states across the US. We need to get the word out and people contacting
reps and officials and get this legislation into law.
To accomplish this you need to click on the following links and send a
message to all the reps and media you can on the issue. Then get
everybody else to do the same.
To do this you need to tell everybody you know. And can confide in.
Then/or anonymously tell everybody you don't know - or can't confide in.
Yet.
Tell everybody you can by e-mailing a link to this website to them and/or printing off this info and
handing out where necessary. Also phone call and visit. Take literature
with you and approach businesses, organizations and even people on the
street while you're out and about. Wear your pot-leaf shirt and register
voters, as feasible.
Organize an event or action item to attract people in order to inform,
educate and activate. Don't forget to alert the media!
Tell everybody else by Letters-to-the-Editor, displaying signage at
street corners and over-passes (wear trenchcoat, fedora and sunglasses
if afraid of exposure), and/or anonymously leaving literature and
posting on-line at places where people are likely to find it.
Coffeeshops are good places to leave printed material and you can go to
the websites of the local newspapers to post items as well. More ideas
and supporting tools via the links below.
And we're sure you'll come up with more. Exchange notes at the websites provided.
Voters will be deciding on a number of initiatives next fall.
If you're as passionate about these possibilities as we are, you'll be following these initiatives right up to election day. And we're here to help.
You can also follow these initiatives and more at the: Media Activism Center -
No one else offers the depth, breadth and timeliness of drug policy news as does DrugSense.
Over the past 15 years, they've honed their craft and broadened their databases to enable you to have the initiative information you need, when you want it.
While they offer this information to you for free, it's not free to produce.
They rely on supporters like you to help defray costs by donating to DrugSense at - drugsense.org Your donation supports services that keep this information flowing. And because, they're an educational 501(c)(3) non-profit, so your contribution is both tax deductible and funds a great cause.

* How about a Voter Registration Party? Come Together, Register and Make a Difference! Notes
For Votes - music by local bands. Tunes, Food, Fun and More. Elections 101: New Voters.
Thank you for your interest in voting in Oregon! Voting is how you can participate in
democracy and make your voice count.
Does my vote really count? Yes. In the 2002 election, in District 28 (southern Oregon), only
42 votes came between the two candidates. That means 22 votes would have changed the outcome,
and close elections like this are not unusual. Next time, the vote that changes the outcome
could be yours.
Just as with any other new activity, voting for the first time comes with questions and maybe
even a little anxiety. The following information should help answer any questions you may
have, ease the voting process, and empower you to become an active citizen.
If you have any questions please call our toll-free voter information line at 1-866-ORE-VOTE
(1-866-673-8683). The voter information line is available Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm,
se habla Espanol. TTY services for the hearing impaired are available at
1-866-350-0596. Additional voting resources are also available online at the Elections
Division website;

More About OMMA
Basic Information ...
The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (OMMA), a ballot initiative approved by voters in 1998, allows patients to possess
and grow small amounts of medical marijuana. The law required DHS to create a registry system for persons authorized to
use marijuana for medicinal purposes. Applicants must provide a statement from their physician that they have a qualifying
medical condition and that medical marijuana might alleviate their symptoms or disease. Once their application is approved
they are issued a registration card that is renewable annually. For those who understand the utilization of cannabis as medicine,
this is an invaluable option in therapy.

GlassWare Party (was Jan. 28th,
2006). Attention patients who use
"glass" pipes for medical cannabis delivery devices. GlassWare
Parties are an opportunity for medical cannabis patients to examine and inquire
about this particular means of medicating in privacy and comfort.
For example, a GlassWare Party was
held at the MERCY Center Sat., Jan. 28th, 2006 from High Noon to 4:20pm
featuring the very functional glass art of Smokin' Glass of Portland. Patients were able to preview beautiful,
practical "glass" products and accessories in a nice, SAFE, friendly
environment where people can discuss the FAQS openly and straightforward.
Y'see, when in the store, conversations
must be carefully controlled, even in the age of OMMA.
NOTE: "Smoke Shop"
Protocol for Medical Cannabis Patients
Smokin' Glass sells only the
finest quality functional glass art and other products. Sure, WE all know what else they can be used
for, but we can't talk openly about it in the store.
OMMA didn't fix anything in this
area, it's the same old drag. Anyone
heard using words like: Bong, Hash-pipe or any word that implies illegal intent
in the store - could be a local yokel on a boon-doggle or even a DEA agent on a
fishing expedition - and the owner could be fined or even shut down. No joke.
SORRY! But federal law applies, so watch yer terminology! Yep, it's a silly game we ALL must play til
we change the law.
Smokin' Glass has supported
individuals and groups in the medical cannabis movement since the concept
began. They help as much as they can
publicly, mostly by patiently educating consumers on the law when purchasing
their functional glass art for use as delivery devices while giving them the
best price they can.
Now, would like to help more by
offering a discount to the patient community.
Mention you read it here and receive 30% off! Yes, all OMMP Cardholders get a whopping 30 percent savings on
your purchase. So, stop on by their new
location in Portland at -
1408 SE 39th, a half block north
of Hawthorne up 39th, next to Jiffy Lube
- and ask about their water-pipes
(NOT "bongs"!) and other functional glass pieces that OMMA
cardholders may be interested in.
Visit: http://mercycenters.org/events/GlassWare_Party.html for details.
Grow-vention (last was 2/26/05).
Growers Convention. Bring all growers together in safe environment and enable
free exchange of information and resources. Have presentations and booths.
Allow patients to attend in order to pick up info, resources or shop for a
grower.

The Emerald Empire HempFest is an annual event (third

Education is the primary goal of this all-volunteer effort. There will be two
stages with great musical bands, a food court featuring nutritious foods, art
booths, and vendors featuring many hemp products, and nonprofit booths. Guest speakers
will discuss the environmental benefits of hemp, medical uses of Marijuana and
the futility and negative consequences of prohibition. As former organizer
Eilleen Erdelt once stated: "The HempFest is a family-oriented event
celebrating a God-given plant that has been prohibited by man."
Their Mission. The
purpose of the Emerald Empire Hempfest is to unite our citizens in calling for
sweeping reforms in America's laws against cannabis and hemp. This is a
uniquely valuable plant: it provides high levels of key nutrients, relieves
symptoms for patients suffering from an array of medical conditions, and can be
made into environmentally positive products such as clothing, paper, paint,
biodegradable plastics, and replacements for fossil fuels.
Please join us in the fight to roll back prohibition
and increase production and usage of one of the world's most beneficial plants!

Saturday, September 11th, 10AM to 10PM – Sunday, September 12th, 10AM to 7PM -
2012 * HempStalk usually happens in Portland,
Oregon. * at Kelley Point Park,
N. Marine Dr. and Lombard St. * The reason marijuana is illegal has very little to do with
drugs, and is really about money and the continued centralization of economic
and political control. Hemp seed oil is biodiesel and is three times more
productive than any other seed oil crop, and hemp seed oil will run any diesel
engine today with no modification. Hemp oil is the reason the petrochemical
industry made up the "reefer madness" myth. They renamed hemp, using
racist propaganda, calling it marijuana, and lied to make it illegal. There is
a truth that must be heard! That's what the Hempstalk Festival is all about. To find out more about HempStalk,

And tell everybody you know about it.
Then tell everybody you don't know. Yet.
In a republic like ours, people often think that the proper response to an unjust law is to try to use the political process to change the law, but to obey and respect the law until it is changed. But if the law is itself clearly unjust, and the lawmaking process is not designed to quickly obliterate such unjust laws, then the law deserves no respect — break the law. --- Henry David Thoreau
