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.
