Don't go to Emerald Leaf Institute! A Warning for fellow patients

Just a heads up to the Portland Oregon OMMP community. Do NOT renew your OMMP card at Emerald Leaf Institute. Dr Ronald Stallings is a FRAUD!! I just renewed through them back in November and after two months of waiting for my card, I just found out that the doctor at Emerald Leaf just called OHA to yank my card. The original appointment I had was super sketch & I was ushered straight from my appointment with the doctor, right into a dispensary, where my doctor was now my bud tender. I am certain that this is illegal and constitutes a Conflict of Interest. This doctor has also now stolen from me, as he has not returned my $118 clinic fee. And I've been put into an awkward situation where I have to come up with the money again to go renew through another clinic, as I cannot afford to have my & my caregivers' OMMP standing jeopardized. I plan to file a complaint with the Oregon medical board & I will be submitting evidence with a complaint directly to OHA, stating that they must not allow things like this to happen. I will also be notifying the local news media. People's lives are at stake here! I am a documented, legit patient and I have had my rights violated. This doctor is committing fraud! If you go on their website, you will see that they are growers and they advertise free weed for your card spot. After some further research, it seems that this doctor looked back through their records and after two months, saw that I hadn't returned to get meds from their dispensary and I didnt' sign up for them as growers, so he called OHA and rescinded his approval.

**If you or someone you know has had a similar experience with this doctor/clinic, please contact me ASAP to share your story! If I can get more people together who this has happened to, it will be much easier to take this doctor down and to get help from OHA. Thank you!!

You can report all of this behavior to OHA. For what it's worth, I use Southern Oregon Alternative Medicine(SOAM) who has an office in PDX. Also there is the THCF Foundation. These are long time (brick and mortar) clinics. I believe they are a little more expensive, but ......

Sadly they make it way harder than it has to be and way more expensive than necessary. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for choice but it wasn't easy here in Oregon. Had to take a few ass- kick'ns, harassment from cops, and was even dragged around by the fuzz, but that was one of the fun times.LoL :bigjoint:
