I don't see anything about a card being legal tender listed there. Its far safer to have the doctors signed MMJ authorization form. And anything can easily be forged in this day and age. Like I said I could easily forge a MJ card here at home in 15 minutes and laminate it. I realize the cards are more convienient to carry than a folded up copy of an MMJ authorization but I try to stay as legal as I can considering the vague laws.
If having a paper authorization makes you feel safer that is great news!!! But the reallity is... it is up to the officer if he likes your authorization or not... in my opinion a hard or laminate card that is visibly recognizable by LEO is a good thing it helps with patient protection [what if it's late at night or your doctor is closed???]Quote:

Sorry if you still feel upset!!!
We feel that we are protecting the doctors license/freedom which in turn helps protect patients.

I have a signed, blue ink for Doc's signature and my information just like the original copy of my authorization shrunk down to credit card size with no expiration date. It shows my name, etc and the doc's signature on the front and the risk benefits on the back. And its laminated by me. I also have a card from The Religion of Jesus Christ, aka The Wormhole that's laminated. Do these qualify with you? I also carry in my vehicle an authorization copy with attached supporting medical documents to back my cards up. So, will this qualify me with you? I know, the Wormhole has never questioned me about how valid my authorization is. :what::confused:
So this is the deal" what they are really"not telling" you is , yes all u need is your recomendation from your DR, but the reason that is not good enough for them is simply because they want to charge u for one of the"fancy" 75$ they sell,,, save yourself the frustration amd grief " not to mention the disapointment" and go to one of the other guys as u will see they do not try and gouge an extra 75$ for nothing other then to pad there pockets just a little bit more, Ive called around in tacoma and all they require is your DR recomendation,yep thats it,call around dont get screwed
I guess thats what I get for bloggin while drivin, what I ment was 75$ for one of there fancy cards,, buddy went to 420 and all they asked for was his DR note, might wanna call and make sure but thats what he said , also called green cross and they said the same.
Sorry if you do not like our policies... you are free to go where you wish [of course] I was just informing people about our group.
also to my knowledge Olympia Patient Resource Center does not charge $75 for it's Id card [maybe your are thinking of a different patient ID card center] The OPRC only charges a $40 donation [plus the card has other benefits that come with it... such as a 15% discount at the OPRC]

Sacred,
Ya, well loopholes exist all over, you make me perceive that you are more interested in financial gain than promoting the advance of medical cannabis use. Skirting around the law playing with loopholes pisses of cops and lawmakers.
I wish you best and hope no true patients get damaged.
Sorry you perceive our interest as purely financial... Sacred Plant Medicnie is a Non profit WA business.Quote:

A summary would be that it says doctors can recommend marijuana as part of their free speech in states with MMJ laws, but they can't help the patient find or get medicine in any way. Confirming a patient so they can get medicine is helping.
A third party that doesn't provide patients with medicine can confirm with a doctor and the doctor is not helping anyone get medicine.
Sacred can then verify with that third party, and no doctors put their license in jeopardy.
The fact that green cross not only verifies with doctors, but has the doctor do so through the faxing of a signed official green cross document is placing every doctor that has verified with green cross in the position of losing their license. Wanna shut down the WA MMJ program over night? Get the license of every doc willing to write a recommendation.
Kudos to sacred for being smarter than the rest of 'em :thumbsup:
