With the passage of adding additional authorizing medical professionals and the new rules on tamper proof paper, all of the older authorizations are grandfathered in.
"Also, patients who now have authorizations on paper won't need to get new ones after the law goes into effect, she noted."

Now how is it our legislator can say those who have an "open ended" authorization will not have to renew once this new tamper proof paper gets put into law. Well then how the hell was I convicted if I had an open-ended authorization? I smell bullshit......:wtf::wtf::wtf:
Steve sarich is correct with what he said here.
Interesting, my paper did not elaborate on the part about the no copies, and special paper.
I do not understand the clause about grandfathering.
Does it mean if I have an authorization, it is grandfathered in, or just the lack of special paper is grandfathered.

2 steps forward one step back. Atleast there going to ease up on the who gets to write the authorizations. Thats going to help a lot all by itself. It won't be long now before we look like cali with MMJ authorizations available on every corner. Now if we can just get dispensaries on every corner.
Reputable dispensaries would be great. :thumbsup:Quote:

If the day ever does come for dispensaries, I hope there is some clause that requires the grower to be contactable in case there is issue with the medicine. I have friends in Cali, and I gather the quality is really down, because everybody, his brother and sister and friend grows and sells the excess.
Sure it will all get you high, but I think us medical folks have a higher tolerance and the average everyday joe blow street poop is garbage.
I want to see growers supplying the dispensaries that are quality first, quantity second. Identifiable strains, and classified as organic or not organic. Ya, folks that use bunches of chemicals should not be allowed to sell the stuff to the general public.
Moving over to the other side of the topic, I think that opening the recommendations to lower levels of qualified medical professionals is absolutely awesome. :thumbsup: Not just yes, but Fornicate Yes!:D:stoned::D
Having worked in the medical field and in a family of medical folks, it is just awesome to see medicine advancing, albeit slowly in this aspect.
That is one reason I would not want to see it sold in liquor stores, as I believe that would be oxymoronic to do so. (Call it a medicine, but you have to buy it in a liquor store?) Nope, it needs it's own special place. If you want it in liquor stores too, you need to legalize it to/for the general public for recreational purposes. One side of the coin is medical, the other is recreational. That is where a lot of issues with lawmakers may stem from.
Ramble...ramble....ramble.
but there are dispensaries, or co-ops, how do they operate?
They operate in the gray area right now. There is nothing in the laws that authorizes dispensaries or coops.
The law specifically mentions no dispensaries.
I think some of the more conscientous law enforcement officials understand the issue and are looking the other way in some jurisdictions like SEattle. You have to get the seeds or clones from somewhere and some people are just not physically able to grow and you can't just post an ad on craigslist that you need a caretaker.
ive seen ads on craiglist for just that people needing care takers ect and people selling to people with there medical cards only i think thats realy a good idea show your card to get plants of a medicle strain, so we dont get the garbage, i know i just got seeds from over seas 3 diferant strains damn it was so exspensive but well see if they grow into big plants hope so for my case
Which store did you get your seeds from? I need to pick some up but I'm just not sure which place to risk my money at.
