NY to Oregon

I was born in upstate NY and lived there for 51 years. I have been arrested several times for my medicine during this war on drugs. It looks like Oregon has the most liberal laws. I am thinking about moving there but have not got a clue where. I like country compared to city. I am a POW of the WAR ON DRUGS. My daughter lives in Portland but I have not visited her yet. I know it rains a lot there. I wonder how far I would have to travel to get to a little drier climate. The homes in Portland in foreclosure still cost at least double what they do here. If I make the move should I expect trouble if I stay within the laws? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Get a medical card and all is good. Don't advertise you are growing and no one will bother you. Dryer?? Hood River and east of there for the dryer weather.

Visit your daughter and drive around. You need to see it before you commit. IMO.

Check out the South part of Oregon, west of the Cascades, we have THE best weather in the state, we get all 4 seasons, and no where near the rain most the north part gets, our annual rain fall down here is around 14 inches, where most the northwestern state is much damper...Our humidity is par for growing meds as well...Here is just a small, small sample of what we do out here MEDICALLY.... ;)

As Gypsy calls it... The Tunnel of Love....

Thanks for the help,
I intend to check out each city you guys name when I go to look. I just picked up a felony for homegrown. Here anything over 10 pounds is a class C felony and this is my second and last. As soon as I can legally leave this State I will. Are the local cops looking the other way? I think I will stay within the law as that looks reasonable. Is indoor safer than outdoor? Thanks and keep it comin.

I also heard a rumor that some people are putting a single male in someones garden to ruin their chances of getting meds to the patients. Is this common? Do you need to be ready all the time?

1st I've ever heard anything like that!!!...being ready all the time depends on where you end up living, Ptown, YES.....somewhere east of Hines, NO... ;)

Southern Oregon here I come...

Southern Oregon here I come...

I would love to have a tunnel like that. I am now looking for southern Oregon since I am told there is much less rain there. I have checked many cities but have not found one yet that meets the under 20" per year. Could you steer me towards any towns or cities in that ballpark? Mr.Sportster, I want to bring my stock 80" '39 Flathead with me. I think I could handle that.
Thanks all

if there is too much rain just add more vermiculite and perlite, and gravel to create better drainage.

You very possibility could have a tunnel like this....here, we growers/care providers can grow for no more than 4 card holding people...this allows the grower to grow full term, 24 plants...which if you do it like I did, your gonna have more work than you bargained for, speically now...and thats with a trimming crew, but none the less.....its very fun knowing your not going to get a visit....We've had all kinda airplanes, copters, and ultralights flyin over head, and I just wave, with a fattie in my mug!! :joint:

I have steered you in that direction...we get about 14" a year rain fall, and most all that happens in the early winters, and spring...in fact, we didn't get one drop of rain this whole summer, which got scary as far as fires go, we had one real close to my home this year, raging forest fire!!!

Iam going to add a couple links for my area of Oregon you might find interesting...

The local newspaper for my town...
http://www.dailytidings.com/

The local newspaper for the nearest big shitty... 'er I mean city!! (roughly 60,000)
http://www.mailtribune.com/

Our weather here...along with more info if ya click the links on this page as well!!

Not sure how to PM
But I sure do appreciate the help. I want to fly out, rent a car for at least a week and drive all over that FREEDOM STATE.
I used to have to drive to Canada to be free. I've been to Hamilton, Toronto, VanCouver and always was able to find a place where I could rent a volcano vaporizor when I leave mine home. I was seriously thinking about moving to Canada to escape this war on drugs. Lately I decided that Oregon has their heads on right. I will find out how to PM and it will be a while before I can leave NY. I'm trying to get into a rehab but my insurance does not cover it. I was there in '83 and doubt they have much new to teach me. Of coarse the lawyer says do it the judges like it. They now have drug court that I am trying to get in. If accepted I could possibly get these records sealed if I do good with the piss tests. I can do it easily but don't want to. I will only as long as I have to. After that I'm out of here. They can tax someone else. My first felony will not be held against me because it was over 10 years ago. At least they just repealed the mandatory sentences from the Rockefellor drug laws from '73. I always enjoy my first buzz after behaving for a while.:joint:
I asked one realtor in Gresham about it and she did not even know it was legal in the state they lived all their life. What should I tell a realtor I am looking for. Here I tell nobody because I grew up here.
The turds took 10,000 cash from my house and 15,000 from my bank.
15,000 bail
15,000 lawyer
71.5 pounds
They did not want my 1988 pick up so they charged me $220 to tow it.
I don't know how I can make up for all those losses in one summer.
All of that for one small outdoor grow.
Goodbye to them because I'm not staying to have them watching me for now on.:pumpkin:
Thanks again sportster

I thought Oregon didn't let you get a card if you had a felony growing charge. You might want to go over the border into North Cali. Southern Oregon is similar to NorCal in climate and scenery.

good question

good question

The charges in NY are for possession over 10 # that assumes intent to sell. Does anyone know if I would be excluded from legally growing in Oregon? I am trying to get the new charge into "DRUG COURT" and I am told if I jump through all the hoops the charge will be "SEALED". I got 5 years of probation for the first one. I don't think I can afford to wait for NY to "LEGALIZE FREEDOM". Rehab starts Monday 2 hours a day and 5 days a week. Maybe I'll catch something I missed the first few times.:woohoo:

Southern Oregon / Northern California or as we locals like to call it the state of Jefferson. Mythical that is.. lol

You would be much better of in northern california, easy to pick up a recommendation for you medical needs and your off. Well i don't know about being caught with 71 elbows but hey i have buds that have done their time also.

Alcohol caused me nothing but problems in life, I switched to cannabis and the courts have been friendly ever since.

Get your post, so you can pm and I would be willing to drag you around. Show you a few great places to relax and spend your days. I only do this because a few peps here in this post must have gotten good vibes from you like I did..

O yea.. I got caught with my smoke in oregon and got a ticket... Pissed me off because it was five hundred bucks. So I called the D.A. and he had me drive up and give the judge sixty one bucks and that was the end of it. No record, nothing, called it a violation of city ordinance, I was like what ever works for you. So every where is different, and yes I am legit in California but Not in oregon. Someday that will change...

This is the official Oregon web site. Review everything. Questions? Call the phone number.

Right now, its taking over 4 months to acquire a card (after submitting paperwork). You also must have a doctor on board. However, you are safe from prosecution as long as you keep a copy of all documents. They are sitting on over 7000 applications.

The further south you live on Oregon the dryer the climate.
