Cannabis Club Crawl March 21st

This week we attended a patient appreciation party at Voter Power which was located at 67th and Foster. They have since closed the doors temporarily while they find a new location. Updates will be available on their website and Facebook. For those of you who haven't heard of Voter Power, they are known for being a patient advocacy group as well as a strong political presence through the years of the legalization process.

Voter Power was founded to support the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act, Ballot Measure 67 in the 1998 general election. It has worked since then to implement the law, helping patients make through way through the process, and to work legislatively to ensure safe and secure access. Voter Power and its volunteers continue to work to expand access to medical cannabis as well as to decriminalize the adult social use of cannabis.

In 2004, Voter Power sponsored the unsuccessful Measure 33, an initiative which would have created a regulated state-wide dispensary system. Voter Power tried again in 2010, with Measure 74, but that effort also failed.

After the M33 vote, Voter Power began holding "patient resource days" around the state, events at which qualified patients could pick up small amounts of medicine. Now, patient-members of Voter Power's Patient Resource Collective get convenient access to the best value, highest quality medicines five days a week at Voter Power's Portland location.

Then we visited our friends at Pure Green located at 3738 NE Sandy Blvd. Portland. If you still haven't been here, you're missing out. Who is Pure Green?

Pure Green is Oregon’s premier destination for Medical Marijuana products. Centrally located in the heart of Northeast Portland, with convenient freeway access and parking, Pure Green is easily accessible to OMMP patients who may need door-to-door service.

Pure Green is owned and operated by OMMP patients who understand the importance of providing affordable, high quality medicine to those in need. Pure Green provides a safe and supportive environment with a diverse selection of medicine for OMMP patients with a variety of health constraints and needs.

Pure Green represents the highest standards of the industry and prides itself on providing consistent, high-grade cannabis products that patients can rely on.

Pure Green is located in the former Hollywood Liquor store, one of Oregon’s four original post-Prohibition liquor stores. Pure Green founders Matt & Meghan Walstatter are advocates for the end of marijuana prohibition and believe that responsible business practices will enable Oregon to generate much needed revenue for the state and foster a new era of thriving economic development.

Pure Green’s Mission:

To provide a safe and supportive environment for OMMP patients.
To provide affordable, high quality medicine to OMMP patients in need.
To have a knowledgeable and friendly staff who know which strains are best for which ailments.
To help patients feel better and enjoy a better quality of life.
To help bring an end to marijuana prohibition in Oregon and nationwide.
To set an example of 100% compliance and to uphold all local regulations and state laws.

As always, if you are a current OMMP patient or caregiver and would like to attend a future Cannabis Club Crawl, please visit us on Facebook or email cannabisclubcrawl@gmail.com

Cannabis Common Sense 728

Cannabis Club Crawl March 14th

NEIGHBOR DAVE'S ORGANICS
This week we headed out to Neighbor Dave's Organics located at 1421 SE 13th Ave. Portland. Neighbor Dave's Organics is known for only offering patients premium quality medications. Their products go through a rigorous testing process to make sure they meet organic certified standards.

Neighbor Dave's is also known for their Romulan which provides a deep sedating relaxation which makes it a favorite strain for patients treating muscle spasms and nerve damage. Used to help with: Anxiety, PMS, Migraines, Arthritis, ADD/ADHD.

"Growing up in a small town in southern Oregon, I learned a lot of values at a young age. We took care of the land around us and looked after each other. We knew our neighbors and helped each other. Whether it was feeding animals for those on vacation, sharing a "bounty" of zucchinni, or getting scolded for throwing rocks, our street was a community of people trying to do good. And now as a husband, father, and friend, I want to give back to my community by doing what I know best - taking care of the earth we depend upon and taking care of others."-Neighbor Dave

RELEAF MM
Next, we headed out to see our friends at ReLeaf MM located at 1034 SE 122nd Ave. Portland. Since the new changes have taken place, ReLeaf can no longer offer their awesome smoke lounge for patients. They are still offering great meds for patients and friendly familiar faces to answer all of your questions.

During our visit, it was nice being able to speak with them regarding the testing process. Some of the crawler's produce their own medibles, so the information on what to expect was extremely helpful.

And I was able to find a travel people that meets all of my needs!

FIVE ZERO TREES
Our last crawl spot of the night was at a new location for us, called Five Zero Trees located at 10209 SE Division St. Building B, Suite 100 Portland. This place is simply amazing. From the clone room, to the glass room, and the extensive supply of clearly marked and tested medicines, they take the cake.

Adding to our raffle that night was their beloved Ice Wax. What's Ice Wax? Good question.

Cannabis Club Crawl March 7th

After some changes in the Portland OMMP community, the Cannabis Club Crawl has resumed into a regularly functioning event thanks to the dispensaries who are now providing transportation, as well as an item to be raffled at the end of the night! We are so grateful for the ongoing support, and look forward to expanding our crawl to more Oregon patients.

This week we visited one of our favorite North East Portland dispensaries, Pure Green located at 3738 NE Sandy Blvd. The menu is expansive, the potency, pure bliss. I picked up some Death Star shatter by suggestion, as well as some Shishkaberry flower. You can always find something for your needs, all you need to do is ask. One major factor in this location being a favorite, is the attention to the patient's medical needs. The bud tenders are always on point with their suggestions, paying close attention to the patient's input on what has worked in the past. Patients are encouraged to spend their time checking out all of the available medicines, and as an added bonus this place has AMAZING artwork for sale.

Next up, we headed out to a new spot in South East Portland, Maritime Cafe located at 17415 SE McLoughlin Blvd. The ambiance and friendly faces, made this a quick favorite. Everyone was so accommodating, and nice! Maritime is a gem that I am extremely grateful to have in our South East rotation, and are excited to return.

Next, we headed out to Rose City Oreganics located at 5134 Foster Rd. Portland. We always love crawling here because of the laid back, friendly atmosphere. Rose City Oreganics is also known for having numerous in house strains that are grown and tended by the fun loving owner, Jasper. Rose City takes great pride in the plants, and offers a clone menu boasting of 30-50 clones at any given time. Currently, they are in the process of testing their medication and have a special for $125 donation for 1 ounce of your choice (until supplies last).
