FINISH WHAT VOTERS STARTED IN 1998
In 1998, the citizens of Oregon said that sick and disabled people
should be able to use medical marijuana legally. Now, six years later,
it is time that the patients who were told they can use medical
marijuana have a safe way to get their medicine. Measure 33 will
create a system for patients to get that medicine.
In 1998, there were concerns that the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program
would create lots of problems. It never happened!
Now the same people are saying revising the state medical marijuana
law will again create all sorts of problems. Well, it would seem from
experience this probably won't happen.
I am asking the people to vote a "yes" on Measure 33 and finish what
you started six years ago. Help patients get safe access to the
medicine they need to live a better life.
