Medical Marijuana Grow Photos

Medical marijuana growing room on property located in Grants Pass, OR. Grower was one of three people who gave medical marijuana to a woman arrested in Portland, OR for trying to ship product to Boston for sale. (AP Photo/U.S. Attorney's Office, Medford, OR, 5/17/11).

In-compliance grow with plants measuring approximately 15’ in height. Photo taken as part of a RADE team investigation into an out-of-compliance grow located on the same property. Josephine County, OR, October 2010.

Each of these OMMP grow sites is on a separate tax lot. In this case, the garden is situated across or near property lines making it challenging to determine the responsible party (Source: “Oregon’s failed medical marijuana program”, The Examiner, 9/20/09).
