Oregon Medical Marijuana Program
Oregon Health Authority
Oregon Medical Marijuana Program:
An Overview
Summary
The Oregon Medical Marijuana Program is a state registry
program within the Oregon Health Authority Public Health
Division. Its role is to administer the Oregon Medical
Marijuana Act as approved by the voters of the state in
November 1998. The program actively pursues administrative
streamlining processes in an effort to better serve our patients
while maintaining the highest level of confidentiality. Multiple
states have requested information on Oregon’s program to
use as a model for their own medical marijuana initiatives and
registration systems.
History
On Nov. 3, 1998, Oregon voters approved Ballot Measure 67.
The result of the “yes” vote allowed medical use of marijuana
in Oregon within specified limits. It also established a state-
controlled permit system. In December 1998, the Oregon
Legislature passed Measure 67 into law. The law, known as the
Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (ORS 475.300), provides legal
protections for qualified patients; requires a physician-written
statement of the patient’s qualifying debilitating medical condition;
allows for a caregiver to provide assistance; and mandates an
Oregon Health Authority (formerly Oregon Department of Human
Services) registration system.
In May 1999, the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS)
implemented the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP),
a state registry, to administer the registration program under the
Oregon Medical Marijuana Act.
During the program’s first year, from May 1, 1999, to May 1, 2000,
the program served approximately 600 registered patients. By July
2010, the program reached more than 45,000 registered patients.
The Oregon Medical Marijuana Program is totally fee-supported.
No state funds are used to support the program.
