Well legally doctors are not supposed to give their patient information to ANYONE, I think that's part of that patient-doctor confidentiality law, however, that hasn't stopped the feds from trying to obtain the names from some of the doctors they have raided.

Personally, I don't see it as a big risk, I don't deny the risk is there, but I'm not a drug dealer, I just smoke pot from time to time and I don't believe any government agency would really care enough to do anything. But again, there is always that risk that they could take a list and try to make an example out of those people, but again, personally I don't believe that is very likely.

Even if you are unlucky enough to have your doctors office raided and that list compromised, I'm sure any decent lawyer would be able to toss it out of court. They are mostly going after the people making money off medical marijuana, not the individual users. My own personal opinion is that my legality under California law is a big FUCK YOU to the federal government trying to tell me how to manage my health. So even if the risk was higher I would probably still have gone legal.

Oh, one thing that is important I sorta overlooked, my county/state doesn't require me to do anything with the goverment. I don't have a government issued card, so the only database that has my name is in that doctors office. Some counties are different, but I think the government issued card is optional in California.

What state do you live in? What area?
