A few questions about our State Laws.

Like I have stated before, I am not currently a card holder. But I have an appointment with the THCF clinic in Eugene in the beginning on June. So basically I am a patient in waiting haha, as I am a shoe in and have been for years. Just was a little nervous about making it official for a few reasons. Which is why I am making this thread. Im know alot of you on here have been OMMP members for years and am looking for some clarification on a few things.

- The main thing I am concerned about is current/ future employment. Especially in the future. I know about the recently passed law that employers can terminate you "IF" they desire to for you being a cardholder. The fields I work in mostly do not require drug tests for employment. But is that information available to employers if they decide to investigate? Call me paranoid, but the last thing I want is to end up being job less for this crazy reason.

- I want to know if it is ok to share or gift marijuana to fellow patients?for example if there is a friend who is also legal is out of meds, is it ok for me to give him some until his crop/grower has the next batch? And is this common practice among patients?


Thanks for any info in advance!

yes u can share but only if both of you are legal patients, and i wouldnt share large amounts. and some do it but most dont, just need to find the right person. and no your work can not find out you have a card unless u tell them. and its not if u have a card they pee test if they think u need to be, or they feel the need or it is just policy

Yeah, you can "Gift" it to other card holders.

Thanks for the answers. Got a buddy who just got his card, and we like to share strains as we both usually prefer different types. Thanks for the clarification.
