AGAINST THE POT POLICE

HB 3664 is a travesty and should be denied a hearing. It's an issue of
privacy rights, and denying the will of the voters.

Providing the personal information associated with registered
marijuana grow sites to police without reason is a clear circumvention
of Federal HIPAA laws and an underhanded manner in which to deny
Oregon residents their constitutionally guaranteed 4th Amendment
rights. This bill is the very definition of unreasonable search and
seizure.

The prominence of the additional fees indicates a contempt for the
patients, and a disregard for the concepts of providing one's own
medicines without the financial constraints and atmosphere of
intimidation that is the pharmacological industry.

By opening up the personal information of growers to the Oregon State
Police you discourage growers from participating in the OMMA and
consequently there will be an explosion of clandestine growers who
will only be further inclined to grow beyond the six-plant limit, as
they wouldn't be registering anyway (obvious fear of police
intimidation and reprisal) they would be more inclined to grow as much
as possible.

This bill, crafted in secret, without the normal cooperation, and sent
up through mysterious "priority" channels, devoid of proper committee
investigation and ample open debate, is a circumvention of the will of
the voters of Oregon.

The further background checks, constraints on minors, and reduction of
maximum allowable cards per residence are equally insensitive,
particularly the last point as a majority of persons have chosen or
been forced into large communal living arrangements as a direct result
of economic stresses and growing harmony with sustainability. This
bill would tear homes apart.

Please forward this email, alert your state legislators, and mobilize
the resistance. HB 3664 should be denied a hearing.
