When ever I visit a dispensary in Denver for the first time I am greeted with a pile of papers to fill out including 3 HIPPA forms. Consistantly I find something that speaks about making the dispensary my caregiver and consistantly I call them on it. The response I get is that the dispensary's lawyer made the forms and in many cases those handing them out have never really looked at them closely.

The issue is that NO ONE really understand what has to be done at this time. The regulations vary from city to city and they are unclear on a state level. Many places are just attempting to second guess what will happen and try to be proactive. Can not blame them for that, they just want to stay in business. I will applaud that effort.

Untill everything becomes clear it is once again the patients responsibility to read what they sign and ask questions. Remember that a change of caregiver takes a notary to confirm your signature so unless they are doing something shady and diffently illegal they will not submit a change of caregiver. I have more issue with all my personal information being handled by people I really do not know. I will not place my full social security number on a dispensary form but have been asked for it numerous times. Don't mind giving my email but not exicited about my phone number.
