Hi,

I'm about to get my card and I'm going to either get a referral through a dispensary or go to one of these "green" clinics (not associated w a dispensary). I do have insurance through my employer, but I haven't been to the doctor in years, despite having debilitating migraines.

Anyway, I'm concerned with whether or not my insurance company will find out that I have a MMJ card? Also, will any future primary care docs I visit have knowledge of my MMJ card? Or, if I'm just going to see a specialist for some unrelated condition, will he/she be able to see in my medical records that I've been prescribed MMJ? I'm afraid that some doctors still don't see the benefits of MMJ and I don't want to turn them off or make them think I'm a drug-seeker immediately.

Basically, I'd like to know what happens to the records established for me when I get my card referral through a dispensary or "green" clinic. Will these records be transferred to other doctors? Or will they pretty much remain only in the file cabinet at the dispensary/clinic (and obviously sent to the state too).

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this...

Peace,
LP
