We the People of the state of Oregon were assured that the passage of M-91 would not effect nor amend our current OMMA legislation.

The text of measure, covering Measure 91, specifically reads:

"Sections 3 to 70 of this Act shall be known and may be cited as the Control, Regulation, and Taxation of Marijuana and Industrial Hemp Act.

Under SECTION 4. Limitations. Sections 3 to 70 of this Act may not be construed to: (7) To amend or affect in any way the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act"

We the people are watching as state lawmakers are systematically dissolving the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program one right at a time. Each change is to the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act is a change undermining citizens voices. We voted for a fair and just legalization act that respected the rights of Medical Marijuana Patients state-wide.

Every change that has been made to the program is a change made illegally. Every change that makes the program more inaccessible and unaffordable to Oregonians is a step closer to the end of Medical Marijuana access in Oregon for over 113,582 medical marijuana card holders currently registered.

Without the OMMP program, every individual under the age of 21 loses the right to utilize cannabis as a treatment for their personal disease process. There are hundreds of registered medical marijuana cardholders that are under the legal age for access to cannabis.

Without access to the OMMP program, not only do minor patients lose safe access, their parents also lose immunity from persecution and prosecution. Measure 91 was not meant to criminalize the most fragile and innocent citizens of our state.

As a solution to the problem, I am proposing that the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act be amended into the State of Oregon constitution in the fashion of Colorado Constitution Article XVIII, to protect patients rights, safe access and to respect the will of Oregonians.

Sincerely,

Brandon Krenzler
