Oregon Health Authority is considering a proposal for a fee hike for medical marijuana growers to $200 annually for every patient they grow for. At present, the state charges only $50.

According to Oregon Health Authority this proposal for a fee hike is due to the recent changes that expanded the health authority’s oversight of production and processing. The medical marijuana revenue is expected to increase from $1.3M to $5.2M in the 2015-2017 budget cycle.

For some patients though, the increase in annual fee for growers that they are proposing is unreasonable and will cause a drop in number of patients in Oregon due to affordability.

    I’m a medical grower in Oregon, and I’m totally pro-cannabis. I must say, though, that I think the complaints are bs. Typically, the grower pays these fees FOR the patients, and any grower who can actually grow a quality product should be able to afford this without batting an eye.

    My first symptoms of ALS occurred in 2014, but was diagnosed in 2016. I had severe symptoms ranging from shortness of breath, balance problems, couldn’t walk without a walker or a power chair, i had difficulty swallowing and fatigue. I was given medications which helped but only for a short burst of time, then I decided to try alternative measures and began on ALS Formula treatment from Tree of Life Health clinic. It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit w w w. treeoflifeherbalclinic .com ). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength, improved eyesight and others. ]
