This was strange to me. I read what I was signing and understood that I was "momentarily" signing over my caregiver rights to them for the date stated on the form. Also, they are very informal and have almost no type of privacy for you to discuss your needs without every person behind you overhearing your conversation. Usually not a big deal to me, but the annoying woman behind me was including herself into a discussion about my health and what meds I should try. I have a debilitating condition that isn't visible to the eye and I would rather not have strangers putting their two cents worth in uninvited. The way to solve this problem is to have a small consultation area that offers some discretion. Something like the divided windows at Walgreen's. Noone would ever tolerate a stranger over your shoulder advising you as to how to take your prescription meds, why the lax tolerance for cannabis. If these dispensaries want to make it, they must take a more professional stand. Treat your patients like patients. The last thing I need is a dorm-room drug dealer gone legit. The last thing the MMJ reform needs is a 25yr old kid peddling his "chronic" legally with the sole intent of profit and a total disregard for the reason cannabis was legalized for medical use. You guys want to see a change in legislation, a change in mentality? You have to be the ones to promote these changes. Refer to your medicine appropriately. It is cannabis. Not weed, not dope, not chronic. CANNABIS. Protect your right to medicine that isn't addictive. Protect your rights by respecting them!
Yeah, that is unfortunate, but who do you think is opening up and supplying these dispensaries? It's the people who were growing illegally a few years ago...
