    I have type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent), insomnia, and mediocre but constant back/joint pain. Do you think I could get a mmj recommendation in Oregon?

    Oregon is not California! Have you developed diabetic neuropathy or retinopathy, yet? Neuropathy might be legally covered under the "pain" section. You might start talking about it to your doctor- He might like these-

    Insomnia? No way, baby! Not in Oregon! Read part "C"!

    This gets you to the index of the OMMP site, so you can read all the rules and regulations

    California is so much easier!

    I have Type I too. Looks like OR has at least de-criminalized for possession under an ounce:

    While it would suck to have to put up the cash to pay the fine, at least its only a misdemeanor. Still makes you feel like a criminal to use your MJ though, which sucks. Same boat here in MN.:rolleyes:
