“The crime was manufacturing
and delivery,” she said, referring to
the charge brought against the
Oakland Cannabis Buyers Cooper
ative. “The ruling addresses the
seller, not the user.”
However, Harris added that the
“broad language” of the bill hints
at the possibility that the prece
dent set could be applied to users
of medical marijuana in the fu
ture.
Sponsored by the Oregon House
of Representatives Judiciary Com
mittee, House Bill 3919 seeks to
expand current medical marijuana
laws under the Oregon Medical
Marijuana Act (OMMA) of 1998.
Rep. Vicki Walker, D-Eugene, said
that often a committee will spon
sor a bill at the request of a mem
ber when that person does not
want to have his or her name asso
ciated with it.
The bill would increase the
amount of marijuana a recognized
medical marijuana patient, could
legally possess from three to five
ounces. The number of mature
plants a patient could legally pos
sess would change to five plants
from three plants and the number
of immature plants from four to
five.
Rep. Carl Wilson, R-Grants Pass,
said the bill seemed to be dead in a
previous committee due to bureau
cratic “prioritizing” before it was
transferred to the House Rules, Re
districting and Public Affairs Com
mittee, of which Wilson is chair
man.
The bill is currently awaiting as
signment to a work session. Wil
son said that because of Monday’s
Supreme Court ruling, he has re
quested an opinion from legal
counsel before scheduling a work
session in order to make sure.the
committee won’t be “beating a

Section 1. ORS 475.302 is amended
to add ‘any medical condition that,
in the determination of the attending
physician, would be benefited by the
medical use’ to the list of conditions
where medical marijuana use is
permitted as treatment.
Section 2. ORS475.306 is amended to change the number of mature medicinal
marijuana plants for private ownership from three to five. The number
of immature plants is also increased from three to five.
dead horse.”
Proponents of the Oregon bill
assert it would enable those in
the state-recognized marijuana
program access to ample sup
plies of marijuana to treat their
conditions. However, opponents
of the bill have voiced concerns
that expanding the law would
send conflicting messages to
children and would increase the
supply of marijuana in the black
market.
Wilson’s committee held a pub
lic hearing earlier last week, which
included input from both those in
favor of and against the bill. Wil
son said many of those testifying
were proponents of the bill, and he
added that they tend to be “highly
motivated” group.
Sgt. Larry Welty, who works in
the narcotics division for the Ore
gon State Police, argued before the
committee that the laws would not
serve solely to provide patients ac
cess to medical marijuana.
Welty cited many cases the nar
cotics department has seen that in

volved OMMA card-holders grow
ing many times the number of
plants allowed by law.
“These people are shooting
themselves in the foot,” he said, re
ferring to those who grow exces
sive amounts.
When the Oregon program was
in its formation it was estimated
that only about 500 people would
qualify for the program; now about
2,000 Oregon residents currently
hold medical marijuana cards,
Welty said.
“This is just the tip of the ice
berg,” he said. “The program is ex
ploding — it’s going to be a major
thing.”
Currently, only medical doctors
and osteopaths are able to confer
eligibility for participation in the
medical marijuana program. The
bill would enable both natur
opaths and chiropractors to sign
the necessary forms for a patient to
obtain a OMMA card.
Wilson said that he hopes to
hear from legal counsel regarding
the bill within the week.
