The Register-Guard, 12 Oct 2010 – Oregon’s Measure 74 will create the best system in America for providing safe, legal and highly regulated access to medical marijuana for qualified patients. The measure creates a system of nonprofit dispensaries, much like pharmacies. It will bring order, transparency and accountability to a program that now serves approximately 40,000 ill, disabled and suffering Oregonians. The time has come to address these patients’ needs, and to place compassion and common sense above political infighting and cynicism. To do otherwise is simply not the Oregon way. The suffering of just one patient, for just one day, compels us to look for a better system.
