Care to be a witness on my behalf? I know there are at least 17 others in Wa. that this is happening to NO EXPIRATION DATES ON OUR DOCUMENTS( I watched the office manager janice brown pile all our medical records together to be sent to the state of Wa., she explicitly stated so)....we as PATIENTS will all loose if this don't get shut down......only we with open-ended (no expiration dates) can stand up for our rights here....no one else is in our shoes....:thumbsup:

Hope you are willing to stand up.
Back when I got mine, everybody was getting a non-expiring authorization. No where does it say I'm required to renew yearly, I still have the original condition for which it was written. With no provision in the state law, as far as I'm concerned mine is still good, regardless of THCF. And, I believe any court should back it up and honor it since expiration is not mentioned explicitly in the law. If you are being taken to court then its just prosecutorial or LEO gymnastics resulting in needless harassment and financial hardship. Especially with legalization bills up for purview. :thumbsup:
gypski Reviewed by gypski on . Loop Hole? Say your get your authorization from a doc in the box who specializes in mmj authorizations with patients with a valid medical history and they put an expiration on your authorization (not in the law, they don't expire). What if you then go to your regular doctor, who wouldn't sign around the time your expiration date is coming on your doc in the box authorization, and the regular doc finds your conditions are still the same, you can carry on without fear from LEO because expiration's aren't Rating: 5
