We forget about responsibility. This shows a blatant lack of it.
here here...my thoughts exactly

you need to go back and re-read the whole thing bro. they werent walking in WITH a card and/or a recommendation m, and the dispensaries verifying them, they were walking into dispensaries and BUYING VERIFICATIONS WITHOUT A DR BEING INVOLVED OR PREVIOUSLY SEEING A DR. the dispensaries were just making their OWN recommendations up. one was even forging a dr's name on the documents.

its really no doubt that eventually ( most likely this december) cannabis will be legalized for everyone, but until that happens (and nothing guarateed of course), dispensaries dont have the right to break the law just because it should be legalized, that fucks it up for everyone else,now doesnt it?. its like i said already, most of the dispensaries out there are just street level pot dealers that,when 420 and 215 passed, decided they were going to give the persona of LOOKING legit. most of them havent even ever read prop 215 or 420. then , on top of that throw in the mix the amounts of money most dispensaries make in pocket each year and the prices they charge, and the cops dont see it as anything but a criminal enterprise. funny to, cause the cops generally arent concentrating on PATIENTS, there concentrating on the DISPENSARIES AND COLLECTIVES as they are the ones breaking the law, which equates to about 95% of them. i personally know guys who have walked into at least two dispensaries in sacramento, without ANY sort of recomendation from a dr,ect and bought MASS quantities of MJ. not one, but twice and more.

IMHO, this is the sort of stuff that needs to happen on the whole MMJ front.

i think
1. before a dr can write a recomendation, he needs to be required by law to get the patients medical records and completely substantiate everything the patient claims. the patient shouldnt be able to walk in and say "i have a back ache" without first presenting verifiable medical records to the dr's office .

2. before being able to work or own a dispensary , the worker/owner should have to go thru an EXTENSIVE background check, and anyone with drug arrests, drug abuse background, mental health issues and convicted felons should NOT be allowed to be involved in the industry at all. you dont have a clue how many of these so-called "dispensary owners" have felony records for drugs,ect.

3. dispensaries that are open should be CLOSELY monitored by either the state or county. I.E. they should be inventoried and the books inspected a minimum of once a week.

4. all a dispensaries employees, after undergoing an extensive background check should be required to attend a class (at their expense) that outlines what they can and cant do, and the law. they should be required to pass this course with a minimum of 98% before being allowed to step foot in the door.

5. collective and dispensary grows should be CLOSELY MONITORED by the county/state.

those are just a FEW ideas i have that would put this whole thing back on track.if we dont get some solid county rules and regulation, all its going to do is end up screwing shit up for everyone, the crooked ones AND the legal ones both, and eventually the patients that cant or refuse to grow their own. ive NEVER bough actual processed MMJ from a dispensary. only thing ive ever purchased is clones and grown my own.
