I really have to wonder at the specific meaning and purpose of this ammendment. Does that mean that the patient's copy of an authorization, which is often posted clearly within the patient's home, is no longer valid?

So... What? We need to post the original? If that's correct, it might have a chilling effect on the use of designated providers, as it seems likely that they also would not be able to simply post a copy of the authorization alongside the designated provider form, which I believe is common practice. And there's no way in hell I'm trusting any third party with the original. Not to mention the fact that there are good and valid reasons for the actual patient to have and display the copy, which reduces the chance of loss or damage to the original.

The Senate also expanded the classifications of people who can authorize medical marijuana. Along with physicians, SB 5798 would allow nurse practitioners and naturopaths to authorize marijuana if it would help their patients. It passed 37-11. :thumbsup: Rating: 5
