I am the founder of Somm-net (Southern Oregon Medical Marijuana Network),
dedicated to helping people obtain and maintain their Oregon Medical Marijuana Act (OMMA) status.
I became a registered Oregon medical marijuana patient in October of 1999, one of the very first in
Oregon to receive a card. Finally, I could legally medicate myself with the herb that I knew would bring me relief. Five
days later I officially began Somm-net which is located in the southern coastal town of Brookings Oregon where I have lived
for the past 30 years. My purpose in starting Somm-net was to assist others in obtaining safe access to the healing herb by
helping them through the application process with OMMA.
I also have seen the need for education within the local community.
I work as an advocate for the people on their behalf. For those who are registered Somm-net is a place to exchange ideas and
tips on cultivation or medical resources.
