I am on OMMP and migraines are one of my qualifying conditions, so yes you can get it for migraines in Oregon.

I have the card.

You need to 1st find a doctor that says you could benifit from medical MJ. Then every year after you need a letter from an MD saying that you have a qualifying condition, which are:

Chronic pain
artheritis
cancer
glaucoma
and something else, I forget what.

I qualify on 2 counts

and something else, I forget what.

Here's the complete list of qualifying conditions from the physician's statement...

Debilitating Medical Condition: Check appropriate boxes.
[ ] 1. Malignant neoplasm (Cancer)
[ ] 2. Glaucoma
[ ] 3. Positive status for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
[ ] 4. Agitation due to Alzheimerâ??s Disease
5. A medical condition or treatment for a medical condition that produces for a
specific patient one or more of the following: (check all that apply)
[ ] a. Cachexia
[ ] b. Severe pain
[ ] c. Severe nausea
[ ] d. Seizures, including but not limited to seizures caused by epilepsy
[ ] e. Persistent muscle spasms, including but not limited to spasms caused by
multiple sclerosis.

I just use my own personal physician, but there are several clinics here in Portland that can help.
If you see Dr Orvald (sp?) at the THCF clinic, you can be legal in 5 states, since he is licensed in Oregon, California, Hawaii, and Washington. Montana also accepts cards from other states, so you'd be legal there too.
Or Mama's clinic is here too, and Voter Power, who had the first MMJ clinic.

Here you go:

The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation, Medical Marijuana Clinics, Serving The Cannabis Community Since 1999, Medical Marijuana Clinics, medicinal marijuana as treatment for chronic pain, chronic nausea, AIDS, cancer, glaucoma, chronic muscle spasms, marij. This is the THCF web site. Long friggen name.

This is where I got started, and as far as I know it's the only place in the portland area that can really help from beginning to end. They have a doctor that can qualify you, they help you with your paperwork, answer your questions. I think it was about $255.

Every year after that you just need your medical charts or a doctors letter (3 mo. current) stating that you have a qualifying condition. It doesn't have to say anything about medical MJ. It costs $100 to renew, or $20 if you are getting food stamps or the oregon health plan. You send your renewal to here, and it's a good place to get started with the forms and exact legalities:

State of Oregon: Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP)

good luck

Dr. Dodge is no longer signing off on your apps. I guess he approved too many people or something.

I work at a MMJ clinic and migraines can qualify you. You have the diagnosis and the history. Your medical records do need to describe your migraines as severe if only even occasionally. If you tell a doctor the pain is well controlled with your current medications you will not qualify.
