and to get an extra $50-$100 each year lol
I don't care for being in a County Health database so I made the decision to see a Medical Marijuana specialist instead of my Pain Control specialist. The reason is the one I chose (and many of the Marijuana specialists), have an online database that dispensaries or law enforcement can sign into to check your status. That keeps you out of the County/State database but provides for 24/7 verification.
My lawyer specifically advised me against getting a state or county issued card. While it may or may not protect you from local law enforcement, I could definitely see the federal government trying to subpoena those lists and targeting people who attempted to comply with local law. They did it in mendo with the people who cooperated with the local sheriff in the zip tie program. They are doing it in the central valley right now. That could happen anywhere.
Thank you for confirming that. I was thinking along those lines. It's really frustrating to see people trying so hard to comply with local law and having their lives ruined for it.
Yep. If there is one thing the federal government has proven, it's that they have no problem exploiting people's efforts to be in compliance with the law.
I'll be honest I don't follow all the crap that goes on with busts and law changes. What's going on in the valley?
In Merced they are starting to write collective growers the same letters they are writing the dispensary landlords all across the state. Basically they are telling people pull up your plants our face 40 years in prison + we'll take your property.
That's pretty close to home, So far I've had it pretty good in here in San Joaquin County. Sure there aren't a lot of collectives around but there aren't a bunch of county laws restricting my plant count or canopy space.
You'd be surprised. There many not be dispensaries out there, but there are a ton of large collective grows out there. A lot of those good ol' boy cowboy farmer types are now growing pretty decent sized outdoor crops on their farmland. It's mostly shit bud, but there is a lot of it.
That's awesome! My real doctor refuses to give me a mmj rec, but does know about my use and doesn't disagree with it. Kaiser just disagrees with it.
What shitty neighbors. I have neighbors like that as well.
Got my renewal today and was 1/3 price as last yearNo, it's not to get your money. A doctor wants to see you annually so they can say that you are their current patient. Your recommendation must be verifiable by the doctor, so for them to do that, your recommendation must be current. That's why recommendations are usually for 1 year.
Ah yes, credibility! Gotta see that Doc every year!
