Is there a dispensary in Washington

[anormine]

I am new to this site and also new to the medical marijuana thing... I was wondering is there a dispensary anyone knows about in the Vancouver, WA area that I can access with my medical card?

Or, if not, does anyone know where to get it while I wait for the ones we are growing to mature?

Thanks for your help!:thumbsup:

Dispensaries are illegal in Washington. There was a couple in Seattle but they got busted a couple years ago. You're kind of on your own in Washington. You either have to grow your own or hit the black market.

Maybe head over to PDX , probably have more luck on that side of the bridge.

[bugmenot11]

There are PLENTY. Gotten clones, and green from them plenty of times. When you get your medical card they give you a large list. If you already have your medical, call the THCF or, other card providers and ask for an updated list.

EDIT: Looking at my list I see that there is one in Vancover.

you can legally buy from another authorized MMJ patient, you can even buy off the street and there are no repurcussions, only for the dealer...

Read RCW69.51A Chapter 69.51A RCW: Medical marijuana (http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=69.51A&full=true)

This is not correct... The buying and selling of marijuana is not legal in Washington state [medical or otherwise] [it is tolerated in some counties]
A medical marijuana patient may obtain marijuana in 2 legal ways...from growing it themselves... or by designating a Provider. [This means the Provider can give the Patient medical marijuana... not sell it to them]

If you get caught in a deal [money exchange] you will depending on where you live in Washington have to defend yourself in court... then it's up to judical discretion :mad:

Quoted from "A Guide for Patients and Physicians"

Patients are not allowed to give away, distribute or sell marijuana under any circumstances to anyone. Any evidence of such distribution puts a person at very high risk. The Medical Marijuana Act defense will not work for someone who distributes or sells any amount of marijuana, because the new law applies only to a patientâ??s personal medical supply. If prosecutors discover evidence of sale or distribution, they can charge a person with felony counts that could result in years of prison time, regardless of that personâ??s medical condition or medical authorization to use marijuana.

Taken from Washington State Medical Marijuana Act - A Guide (http://www.eventure.com/i692/Pages/brochure.html#banned)

A Provider has the same rules preventing sells...

Interesting Jeremy but please take a look here: Forum to tackle issues on local marijuana policy | Vancouver Voice (http://www.vanvoice.com/article/19690-forum-tackle-issues-local-marijuana-policy)

[gypski]

Any transaction between a patient and provider should be done under the donation process. The donation is to cover the expense of producing the medicine and providing it. No harm, no foul really. :thumbsup:

And face the facts, some day soon, not to far off, the sale of marijuana or cannabis if you prefer, will be tolerated. How many speakeasys were really busted during prohibition? People who want access to something usually keep quiet about it unless they are a rat bastard! :jointsmile:

Soon private cannabis clubs who offer amenities, just like private liquor clubs will be popping up like weeds. Pun intended. Just you wait and see. :smokin:

[VapedG13]

I run my own dispensary...any time I need it I dispence it to myself:D:hippy: ....its only a closet away:thumbsup:

[badjuju]

I am a patient, with card and papers. I don't have a source and my garden (which is legal) isn't mature yet. Is there any legal, or semi-legal way, to get my hands on medication, be it pay or donation? Thanks.

Might a loophole be that, since there are so many strains, one person lets another person try a specific strain to see if its better for a particular purpose? I dunno, just a thought...

[WashougalWonder]

I could point you to a caretaker that has an opening. Where did you get your documentation/'card'?

I still get wierded out when someone says that they have a "card" in WA. No cards are issued in WA, you need your documentation.

[badjuju]

I'm not sure if cards are a new thing, or just something that the THCF is starting to do so we don't have to carry paperwork around everywhere. Anyway, yeah, I have the documentation, too...got it from the foundation location in Bellevue.

[jamessr]

THCF founder paul stanford is attempting to get us all on a registration program(like sex-offenders), without the vote of we the people or legislation being voted on in the senate or the house. THCF is not the only one's doing this bogus card idea. It is a flawed business plan called doc in the box. My regular doctor who signed my authorization doesn't give me a card, only the doc in the boxes give these out.

No one has voted or seen any legislation for this, correct? Ever wonder why?

[killerweed420]

It wouldn't surprise me to see Washington pass a registration card law. Hope they don't.

[gypski]

A card could violate the doctor-patient relationship by giving access to those who don't really need to know your condition(s). Especially in a state data base. We all know they can't protect their data bases and they also sell them. Bad, bad idea in my opinion. No privacy. The authorization should be recognized and LEO be on his way with a small sample. A forged authorization doesn't have the necessary appended and attached paperwork, and you need to confirm your identity with proper ID. :D

I totally agree gypski. Our constitutional regime of privacy here in Wa. under article 1 section 7 is why our legislature never did set up a registry system in the first place. Just because LEO and the executive branch continue to manifest untenable ambiguous arguments does not give rise to a card registry system.

Our legislature knows that a sample taken under the WSP guidelines is just 1/10th of a gram. A picture and a sample is enough to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt here in Wa., any amount is the rule of law. LEO's excuse of destruction of evidence is without merit.

A forged authorization is obvious if the signed Dr. never did sign or the patients medical records do not exist.

hey i was wondering if you could help me out and educate me on medical marijuana in washington, the laws on this seem so vague... i am a fellow washougalian! lol

[jamessr]

Go too Tacoma, WA Medical Marijuana - North End Club 420 (http://northendclub420.com) :thumbsup: They can help you, don't go to portland, it's a federal offense to bring across da bridge....duh!!!

[Peradventure]

I just got my official recommendation this month. The did give me a laminated card to put in my wallet. I doubt it's worth the paper it's printed on.

Some people have stated that after you receive your authorization, you get a "list" of dispensaries or providers. I can't imagine that a list would include anything but dispensaries from a legal aspect.

Alas, my Doc in a Box offered no such list. I am fortunate to have connected with a provider immediately via a friend, but I really want to know if there is still a big dispensary in Vancouver, and where.

[joshdub]

Everything is working so far for us... we went to the doc and gave our med records about a week or so after that they gave us a call and we went up and got our card and paper... then we also went to OPRC to become there member who gives you a list and a second form or verification through a card with their number and this
"ATTENTION LAW ENFORECEMENT
The patient identified on the reverse side has been verified by the Olympia Patient Recouse Center as authorized to posses medical marijuana in accordance with RCW69.51A

It is therefore your legal duty and responsibilty to respect and obey the above cited legislation, and to leave the individual identified unmolested and unreported to the federal autorities. Failure to follow state law may result in sizable civil judgements against your city or county if the patient is found to be in compliance with RCW69.51A and their plants, or other property have been seized or destroyed."

Then its got my smily :) face on the other side of the halographic card... i guess just another form of verification...

In these documents you received from this group, did they inform you that you just contracted with an organization, and not a physician who signed your authorization? prolly not huh. Did they also tell you that it is ONLY an affimative defense to criminal charges and it is not legal to use marijuana in any form? Prooly not...

They did give you forms which don't mean didly squat legally, but sounds great....do cops care about how many nickels they would have if they counted how many people threatened to sue them....

First off, all a cop has to say is I smelled marijuana, and your civil case is burnt...probable cause protects all cities and officers...no judgment will be paid.

I would tell you to stay away from Scott L. Havsy, DO on Pacific & 38th. I don't know what game they are playing but I went there not long after their fire, I guess someone got mad at them and torched it. I took the doctor everything he asked for but he kept having Stephine call and say they needed something else. After two months of game playing I finally got sick of it and went in and asked him what was taking him so long to look at it and he said I'll do it this weekend. I got the call again, I need more info, well I already had given them two inches of medical records and finally took them the other 6 inches of records I had from my injuries and disease but to no avail. He is a joke, I don't beleve he even in for real, maybe a police informant of something.

I took just a half inch of my records to another doctor that really cares and he did it in a day.
I am telling you from experience stay away from Scott L. Havsy, he is a fake!

I have verified many MMJ patients through Dr. Havsy's office. You unfortunately had a bad experience with them, but that doesn't mean he is not a legitimate doctor.

Anybody can look up doctors licensed in Washington state by going to the Dept. of Health Provider Credential website at:
https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/providercredentialsearch/SearchCriteria.aspx

[killerweed420]

I'm afraid I'm one of the people that had a bad experience with him too. Was clearly eligible for authorization but I lacked a lot of medical records because I've never had healthcare and pay cash for everything. Had clear medical documentation that I suffered from degenerative bone disease, arthritis and a busted L3 vertebrae, had tried 4 types of arthritis drugs that just made me puke so I couldn't take them and was still turned down. But thats why we need competition in doctors. Just go to a different doctor that maybe knows a little more about the process than others.

I dunno why people keep posting that there are no dispensaries. I know of at least three, all they need are your papers and ID, and they will dispense to you. I bought weed, magic candy, magic brownies, and even hash at one. Pleased with the smokables more than the edibles.

This is insane, dont listen to this guy.. Obviously your medical records were not showing enough, I faxed my medical records to Dr. Havsy's office and 2 weeks later I had my paperwork and card. In fact I was only in his office maybe 30 minutes including the waiting room.

[FloridaKid]

I actually spoke to the doctor you speak of and it was my intuition to not mess with that guy. He just seemed so fake. And when I sent him an email telling him how fake I thought he was he replied in not so nice of words. If he was legite in the first place he never would have responded to me.:hippy:

He is, in fact, a legally practicing osteopath. Legit. Anybody wanting to check him out to see that he is can do so at the WA state credentialing website.

https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/providercredentialsearch/SearchCriteria.aspx

Repeated assertions that he isn't legit isn't going to make him not legit. Some don't like the guy, fine. But continually slandering him (def: "a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report" Slander | Define Slander at Dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/slander)) here on the forum isn't, in my opinion, appropriate.

[natrensland]

ok for one yes it is legal in washington state in tacoma alone there are 3 medical disp. and in seattle there are 5 disp. in spokan thee are 2. finally in pasco there is 1. i live here in washington and know all about the medical green laws

There are some cooperatives and collectives which seem to be operating under the law. Generally, cooperatives and collectives in the Tacoma area prefer to not call themselves dispensaries, simply because the law does not, as yet, allow for "affirmative defense" MMJ organizations by that title. So when someone asks "Are there legal dispensaries in Washington?" then generally the answer you'll get is "no." It's the terminology difference. Remember, 69.51.A doesn't make medical marijuana legal in Washington State; it only provides an affirmative defense.

There are a few cooperatives and collectives in the Seattle and Tacoma area. Off the top of my head (I know there are others)...

Seattle - Access 4 Washington: 206-388-3462

Tacoma - Cobra Medical Group: 253-565-2918
Tacoma - Sacred Plant (no phone)
Tacoma - Club420/Tacoma Patient Resource Center

You can pick up a Little Nickel in your area and most likely you'll find some advertisements by cooperatives/collectives on the front page, too.

Could you possibly give me information on the Vancouver location. And is it legal for providers to go to these locations for starts bieng there documents are different from paitents. Am new to this please forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject.:thumbsup:

There isn't anything in Vancouver that I know about, but that doesn't mean there isn't. Take your patent with you the first time if that is what your question is referring to. :thumbsup:

There are a few cooperatives and collectives in the Tacoma area...I know of at least 9 in the Tacoma Area, there are 2 on south tacoma way...A new one is opening in University place soon and he has the goooood meds.....Little Nickel seems to have many listed on the new Green Page...Last page. I had thought Havsey was a script Doc but obviously not. Why would it take 2 weeks to get a referral if you have records? Most Docs will give a new Patient a 90 day and then another 90 day and a 6 month so he does see you 3 times a year. Thats what my brother was offered by a few but then he was finally able to get his records from another state and all was fine. Yep, this really sucks for most people that don't have a regular Doctor, which is most poorer folk.

I was wondering if you could point me to a caretaker. I am a legal MMJ patient in Clark County, WA, and I'm in need of finding a legal caretaker. If you could point me in the right direction, I would be extremely grateful ;)
