Voter Power is currently working on several initiative campaigns and other projects:
  • Support an initiative that would establish a licensed and regulated medical marijuana supply system.
    •   Currently, state law requires sick and disabled patients to produce their own medicine or find someone to do so.  Thus, too many patients go without.  We are currently gathering signatures for a 2010 ballot measure that will help ensure that patients have an adequate supply of medicine, funds medical marijuana research, and generates millions of dollars of revenue for Oregon (ultimatley protecting the program from anti-patient zealots like Kevin Mannix.)
  • Support an initiative that would establish a constitutional privacy right for adults to possess cannabis in the privacy of their homes.  We are currently gathering signatures to place this measure on the 2010 ballot.
  • Educating the Oregon Legislature
    • Stop legislation that would allow employers to fire medical marijuana patients for merely being a patient. We have led the effort to defeat this bill the past three legislative sessions.
    • Stop legislation, proposed by the chair of the Drugfree Workplace Legislative Work Group, that would decimate the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, hindering the quality of life for thousands of sick and disabled patients.  The proposed legislation would decrease patients supply of medicine by over 80%, force patients to use an expensive and ineffective pharmaceutical narcotic, and immediately criminalize patients who legally utilize medical marijuana to combat agitation due to Alzheimer's. 
    • Pass legislation to bring impairment testing to Oregon instead of ineffective and expensive urine tests.   
    • Find out who your legislators are here.
  • Efforts to change federal law
  • Advisory Committee on Medical Marijuana
