The Register-Guard, 12 Oct 2010 – I am sorry The Register-Guard does not support Measure 74, Oregon’s marijuana dispensary bill. I know how helpful marijuana has been for me as a patient registered with the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program. I don’t understand why the editors don’t want me — and 40,000 other Oregonians — to have safe and easy access to my medicine. I also don’t understand why my medical issues and the medicine I choose depends on an election or why police feel they have a voice in my medical choices. My medicine is my business, between myself and my doctor. As Dr. Fred Oerther said, "The study of medicine begins and ends with patients."
