Hi Mad Sativa,

What a nightmare you are going thru!

Unreal and yet it is happening huh.

I don't have my mj card as of yet because doing so is little to nothing accomplished than not.
Yes...being legal having some cannabis on my person would be a good thing and yet this is all there is in having the card now.
Add the fees from the pot doc and state and a year from now do it all again.

If there was so much as one venue to purchase high grade upfront and legal then for sure the card would be worth it all.
But there's not so here I am holding off until something makes it worth while.

I'm a Vet so I should think getting my records from the VA Hospital will be no biggie.
I do have basal cell carcinoma, glaucoma and so it is my thought that I would be pretty much a shoe-in for getting the mj card.

Then again from what I've read and all it might be a fruitless task.

I saw a news blurb on TV some time ago that had the camera and reporter at the open mmj board meeting for all the public to see.
I thought it was for applicants to try and ADD their illness to the already approved list.
I never realized the applying patients for medical cannabis were the ones in the board meeting to be made public in their personal medical records and all.

Since when does a patient's medical history become forced public knowledge and debate by a government entity?????

A person wishing to be a mmj patient has to sit before a board and explain their cause and medical records and differ with the panel over nuances like do they really benefit from cannabis or just want to be legal stoners or making up tales???

No wonder there is only 203 mmj card holders in the entire state!

Should be well over 2000 long by now.

An easy to see ploy those on the board are using to keep the card holders at a low ebb and keep this mmj program from gaining much steam.

Governor Bill insisted on mmj and even forced the state to get going on it.

The tactics played were met by Mr Bill and he made sure the state would comply and meet the needs of mmj patients.

Unreal and a shame of a scam.

I will be more than willing to ruffle and pluck the feathers of the board to make this crap more public and garnish the attention of the news media...both local and hopefully national if this all can grow legs.

My only hesitation is getting on the radar again and my vacant residental land is going into an agreement of sale by a state entity next week.
This and my soon to be application for the mmj card and even as a grower/dispensary/store.

May sound as if I am wafflng but honestly I am not.
More of a choose the time wisely to piss people off.

As for you and your hassle in getting your own medical records....

What hospital is your medical history and records at?

Pres..St Joes...Lovelace...UNM....?

The VA is easy to get med records from and they even encourage doing so.

Too much need to know that I don't know to be much help for you Mad but if you contact me maybe we can get together and go over it and see if there's a stone left unturned.
The state AG will be more than happy to help and has clear cut ways to get information disclosed when wanted.
The Sunshine law does have teeth ya know.

Been me I'd already been taking them to task to the point where they would threaten me with a call to APD to remove me from their office.
For real.
Guess I am an asshole at times but when some lame ass business or government office will not be ethical and upfront with me I tend to go firm on my stand and dare them in return to do shit. (sorry my french but this really pisses me off)
I raise my already carries far voice to where the whole place can hear every word and try to make sure any ears within a 500 feet can hear as well.
I have alot of tenacity and do not let up until I am not only heard and understood...but I am dealt with fairly as I should expect to be.

I assure you those in the power position that make a public specticle out of a person wishing to get a mmj card do not want public admonishment and disfavor.

The meeting is tomorrow??

I am inclined to go and sit and listen and watch....and to then pick a perfect moment to address my resentment for having patients forced into a situation of having to be out in the open for all that ails them medically and every Tom, Jane and Dickhead gets to sit in on the meeting and know all about another when it is none of anybody's business but the doctor and the board.

And the board should not have the position to disregard the patient's medical records showing their need for mmj and be turned down all because some jackass took a subjective opinon as to the approval or not.

Please get in touch with me and let's talk it out some and see if there is a means for you to get the medical records you need and have a right to see.

If I had a partener it would definitly be better, but I can not get all my health records for this upcoming meeting. Every thing has to be in by the 12th, thats only 4 days away. I have knowlege of growing, and medical applications, I know from THC to CBD and phenotypes, and I am willing to stick my kneck out thier with the rest of the brave. But even now I try to get health records, and I have found I got to go around my old DR. completely. He will not give up the records I need, they keep stone walling me, and when I do get info from them it is all the wrong info, or completely bad unreadable copy. I am looking for records from hospitals now, but tracking the information, is like hunting for UFO proof. I had one doctor all my life upuntil about 12 years ago, that doctor should have all the info I need but they dont even acknowlege, the surgery that I am looking for, and they dont have any records of perscriptions, also my kidney stone problem has disapeared as far as the records go. So I am willing to help, I am not afraid to be on the front line, I am not affraid of being part of a non-proffit org. but I have to get a Medical Card first. And I dont know if this is how it is all over this country, but I recomend getting records every time you go to a doctor or hospital, and keeping your own records, because, I have been lost in this bull for to long, I still dont have any records that I need, I dont think I am going to be able to make the next meeting because, I have fallen off of the earth on paper. I want to help, how did you get your card? Did you have all your records, or is their a secret number or records place, because I have been looking for 2 months now. it is at the point where I feel like storming the DR offics and shutting it down so I can look at my records, I know they have what I need they just wont give them to me. So I will get my card I dont care if I have to make a DR. and have him make records, but I dont think I will be at the next meeting to have my application reviewed. I will be thier for other peoples support, but I am close just not close enough.
My objective too was to open up a dispensary, but I am having so much trouble in just getting a card. the fact that we have to go before a board in a public hearing is an attrocity to the entire health care concept. A doctor is supposed to do this because he has axcess to your records, not even to mention, California is having some problems with gangs and criminals running dispensaries. If they heard all the medical card holders into one room, every criminal can watch TV and see our faces or see our cars or just see who they need for their organization. THier is a serious breach of security their, but they think nothing of it. An d still that does not deter me, but like I said I am caught up in looking for my medical history.
