What are the rules about cannabis for medical patients in Oregon?

Marijuana is legal in Oregon for both recreational and medical use.  Please check the OMMP website for current rules.
In Oregon, the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) is administered by the Oregon Health Authority.
​From the OMMP Website:  
How much marijuana can I possess if I am a medical marijuana patient?
An Oregon medical marijuana patient (and their caregiver, if applicable) may possess up to 6 mature plants, which must be grown at a registered grow site address, and up to 24 ounces of usable marijuana.
This is different from the possession limits for recreational marijuana. Limits for recreational marijuana can be found at WhatsLegalOregon.com. 
Is there a limit on how much marijuana an OMMP patient or caregiver can possess or purchase from a dispensary? 
Yes. A patient or caregiver may only possess or purchase from a dispensary in one day: 

• 24 ounces of usable marijuana;
• 16 ounces of a medical cannabinoid product in solid form;
• 72 ounces of a medical cannabinoid product in liquid form;
• 16 ounces of a cannabinoid concentrate whether sold alone or contained in an inhalant delivery system;
• Five grams of a cannabinoid extract whether sold alone or contained in an inhalant delivery system;
• Four immature marijuana plants; and
• 50 seeds.

How do I get the card?

• You must have a visit with a physician licensed in Oregon (M.D. or D.O.) who signs an Attending Physician's Statement, which states that the patient has a qualifying medical condition and that medical marijuana may mitigate the symptoms or effects of that condition.  The visit must occur annually.
