US OR: OPED: ‘Swimming in Weed’ Article Was Misleading

The Mail Tribune, 12 Sep 2010 – You have been misled about the majority of Oregon Medical Marijuana Program patients. We, the patients, do not state what our qualifying condition is. The doctor completes the balance of the attending physician’s statement. Personally, I qualify under severe muscle spasm and severe pain. Severe pain covers everything from severe arthritis, broken backs and amputation to a horrid nerve disorder called tic de la rue whose most common side effect is suicide.
