Medical marijuana patient Elvy Musikka talked to the crowd about the difficulties of being a medical marijuana user under the current system. We have to be quiet about who we are, we have to hide, because after all, we are criminals. Thank you for changing that here in Oregon, said Musikka. Make it so we can get access to our medicine whenever it is necessary for us, and I think we would all benefit greatly for it. Elvy, who has glaucoma, says that she would be blind without medical marijuana, and it scares her when she has to turn to the streets just to keep her eyesight. Sarah Duff, a supporter, told KPIC News, This isn't a scary system, it's intended to stop the criminal behavior for the first time, and to cut down on the black market and to stop patients from having to support the black market.
