mmj card and your medical records

[xtreme23]

is it possible to get a mmj card and not have it show up on ur medical record?

[psteve]

Absolutely. Yes.

[Matt the Funk]

Mine is not on my record.

[xtreme23]

and how would you go about getting one if you dont want it on ur record.. dont you need ur medical records or ur ssn.. dont those two tie back to ur records?

[psteve]

dont those two tie back to ur records?No.

[xtreme23]

No.

so if i just bring my medical records to a doctor who can prescribe mmj, it does not at all go on ur records? not even if an employer does a background check?

If you go to a MMJ clinic, nobody knows but you and the state. If you use your own MD, then of course he will know. And no, it doesn't show up on a background check, no matter who requests it.

It won't show on a background investigation.

Even if you get a high-level clearance, they can only ask 3 questions about your mental competency.

Heres how it works...


1) You go see your doctor and get your recommendation
2) You take your doctors recommendation to your local dept of health

All they do is print out a state-recognized ID card that is basically proof of legitimacy.
You're not going to be added to some database, and your medical records are not going to be revealed... All they want is proof that your doctor honestly feels that you will benefit by using cannabis medicinally

good luck :)

I looked up a list of local prescribers on the CaNorml.org site, you can search via zip code. Picked one close, I had ordered my medical records, but they did not get here in time so I went without them. I was told to bring all my meds, which I did, a few other people there also had bags of meds with them, but none did I see with medical records. Paid $150 to see the doctor, $10 for a prescription card, all taken up front and non-refundable if not approved. The doctor looked at the 3 pages of information I had to fill out, but he never looked at my meds themselves. He never really discussed with me my pain level or what I wanted the medical marijuana to do for me. General questions, 10 minutes later I had my certificate. Now, I do have solid medical reasons, I would imagine, dependant on specific people and their proof of need, it may not be as easy, maybe so. The doctor had appointments scheduled every 10 minutes, that says something right there. The caregivers who distribute are awesome, super anxious to help, but they, or at least around here, are going to want around $140 minimum order each delivery, so all in all, a very pricey venture, so be prepared for that going the legal route.

In California even the state doesn't need to know, some counties do have state issued ID cards, but I believe those are voluntary. The state has no records of what my medical history is, and your medical records are used to verify you have a condition that marijuana can treat. Nothing is added to your records, however, you might be amazed at how detailed your records can be. I was expecting a few pages but the lady came back with a friggen book lol.
