New medical marijuana coop in Tacoma

[sacredoftacoma]

sacred medicine is smart for not calling the doctor's office to verify. Read Conant v Walters and what that decision meant. A summary would be that it says doctors can recommend marijuana as part of their free speech in states with MMJ laws, but they can't help the patient find or get medicine in any way. Confirming a patient so they can get medicine is helping.


A third party that doesn't provide patients with medicine can confirm with a doctor and the doctor is not helping anyone get medicine.

Sacred can then verify with that third party, and no doctors put their license in jeopardy.

The fact that green cross not only verifies with doctors, but has the doctor do so through the faxing of a signed official green cross document is placing every doctor that has verified with green cross in the position of losing their license. Wanna shut down the WA MMJ program over night? Get the license of every doc willing to write a recommendation.


Kudos to sacred for being smarter than the rest of 'em :thumbsup:

Thanks and Much Love justpics!!! You seems to be the only one here to understand our policies... We are very much worried about protecting doctors/patients!!!

Unlike like the others... who just want to verify so the can feel better about allowing patient safe access to medical cannabis not caring that the doctor could lose his/her freedom/license [not to mention null and void all the Mj authorizations signed by them]

Our goal is to creating a new standard here in Washington for MMJ coops/dispensaries [not just monkey see, monkey do] We have had our attorney working on this project for 2 years... every detail has been looked over.

And your absolutely right. You have the right to run your business anyway you feel. I think we're just going a little overboard here on trying to stay legal when obviously there is nothing legal about dispensaries in Washington.
I just want people to understand that simple fact so they can make an educated decision on whether to use a dispensary or not.

I would also like to point out that there is nothing illegal about coop/dispensaries in Washington... they are just not clearly defined in law. [We have all state and city licenses... which we could not get if it were illegal to operate.]

But your point is 100% correct... patients should educate themselves and be safe in all the decisions they make involing mmj or their freedom!

Sacred...Got it that time :jointsmile:, man what can I say, dyslexic stoned fingers. Please I know damn good and well you are not scared. LOL

So sorry about that.

Hang in there, someone has to do it.

What I find puzzling with your argument about verifying through the doctors office, in no way endangers the doctor. He is only verifying that the person has a valid authorization, and in no way is it helping a person acquire medicine. Its no different then LEO calling to verify. :jointsmile:

[WashougalWonder]

I can certainly see Sacred wanting to verify the documents if it isn't one of the major clinics and such where they would know the names and signatures of the doctors.

As a caretaker I required the person I assist to provide me with his doctors statement and some of his documented medical history that constitutes the valid medical condition and his statement giving me authorization. Take no chances.

Regardless if skirting with disaster and loopholes, calling or contacting docs does verify. Like Gypski says tho, that will have no more effect on their license than the written documents do.

But it is oxymoronic to me to be so damn careful one way and taking such risk another. I guess that is why I am an old fart.:stoned:
:stoned:I am wasted, I hope that made sense:stoned::stoned:

So are you saying that you are the only dispensery thats operating"legally" in the state of WA? because thats what Im hearing, and funny that you say you canr verify with the DR and thats why you ask that we get a "50$" laminated card,well my friends I know for a fact that they do verify because I have sat in the office and listened to the phone calls????? so please my friend make up your mind? do you verify or not? and again why is that we need your fancy card? come on now think of a better one this time??

Why is it puzzling??? "He is only verifying that the person has a valid authorization" to the source of a federally illegal drug which helps that person to acquire it... in my opinion it seems alot different then verifying to LEO to help keep a patient out of jail.

Maybe your right??? but why risk it???
