ON THE RIGHT TO MEDICAL MARIJUANA PRIVACY
Oregon subpoenas worry medical marijuana advocates
PORTLAND (AP) — Federal subpoenas seeking medical records of 17 Oregon medical marijuana patients have growers and users upset and nervous even as a federal judge considers whether to throw the subpoenas out.

‘‘It’s crazy. It’s really scary. If they can get my records, they can get Gov. (Ted) Kulongoski’s, they can get yours,’’ said Donald DuPay, a former Portland police officer and 2006 candidate for Multnomah County sheriff.
DuPay says his records are among those subpoenaed.
A federal grand jury in Yakima, Wash., issued the subpoenas in April as part of an investigation of some growers in Oregon and Washington.
The patients are not targets of the grand jury.
A Seattle spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration declined comment.
