and plenty of independent vendors.

The Oregon Medical Cannabis Awards™, or OMCA, brings together patients and caregivers to evaluate the best strains of medical cannabis in the State of Oregon. 17 Entrants have submitted 25 samples of their cannabis strains and our 28 Judges rate it for medical efficacy, potency, ease of production, and other factors.

Since cannabis is not a standardized pharmaceutical product and not available in commercial pharmacies, medical marijuana patients face much difficulty in determining which strains of the plant, which growing techniques, and which preparations will be best for treating their medical condition. The Oregon Medical Cannabis Awards™ provides those patients with the information they need to make informed medical marijuana decisions.

The Oregon Medical Cannabis Awards™ is the premiere annual event in the Oregon cannabis community. The public is invited to the afternoon festivities celebrating the legal and social victories in the areas of medical marijuana and industrial hemp.

The awards also present an excellent educational forum on medical marijuana with some of the country's leading experts in the medical and legal fields. This years speakers include Dr. Rick Bayer, MD, (the chief petitioner of Oregon's 1998 Medical Marijuana Initiative), Dr. Alan Cohn, MD, Dr. Tod Mikuriya, MD, Dr. Grant Higginson, MD (the chief state officer in charge of the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program for the Department of Human Services, Ed Glick, RN, and attorneys at law Ann Witte, Phil Lebenbaum, Brian Michaels, Lee Berger, and Paul Loney (Oregon NORML's legal director). Topics of discussion include Harm Reduction in Cannabis Therapy, a Cannabis & Mental Health Update, Cannabis & Impairment (Myths & Facts, Risks & Consequences), and Changes in the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (SB 1085).

Making Bubble Hash - a presentation at this year's OMCA. Boardmember "Radical" Russ Belville shows you how to make the most of your harvest by processing your shake, stems, and leaves into Bubble Hash, using ice water, a mixing drill, a couple of buckets, and five very special bags. (No actual marijuana will be used in the demonstration.)
