 Email I received last Friday, September 18, 2015:
PeaceHealth lowered the boom on medical marijuana with an extremely regressive edict issued yesterday. 
They claim their justification is the fear of Federal violations!

They are banning all staff from any participation in patients' marijuana requests and any forms already signed will be destroyed. 

The only way the new admin at PeaceHealth will reconsider is if the community it serves 
(Alaska, Washington, and Oregon, which have all been comfortable with medical marijuana for quite some time) reacts. 

Question from my source:
So, where is the community/patient outcry?  
How come the RG has let PeaceHealth go through ENORMOUS changes for nearly 4 years now with virtually zero reportage? 
~~~OLDER but this PeaceHealth info still showing up on the site:

OG Analytical, from what I understand, has helped to expose the fact that some cannabis extracts being provided to patientswere contaminated with pesticides, etc. as per the article in OregonLive a few months ago. 
Some dispensaries decided to discard them when they found out the shocking results of tests by OG Analytical.
The press needs to cover the issue as in the future extracts will continue to be sold at a large number of dispensaries and many are probably NOT certified organic -I think some are.  Also, by October 1, many dispensaries will be selling marijuana for adult use and not all of it is certified organic.
