State Medical Marijuana Program Fees to Be Cut
From Times Wire Reports
The state’s medical marijuana program is running such a big financial surplus that it is cutting fees charged to patients who want to smoke pot to ease their pain.
Under Oregon’s voter- approved program, the state Department of Human Services issues medical marijuana cards for $150. It then charges a $150 annual renewal fee.
The new rules will allow poor patients to pay $50 for a card and $50 for the renewal.
Cards are commonly issued for people with AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis or glaucoma
